Lemon Curd

I forgot to post the Lemon Curd recipe for the Lemon Meringue Cupcakes.

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

1 tablespoon grated lemon peel

In the top of a double boiler, beat eggs and sugar. Stir in lemon juice, butter and lemon peel. Cook over simmering water for 15 minutes or until thickened.

If you double the recipe, you can make the actually Lemon Meringue Pie.
