LEMON HONEY

4 Lemons

125 gms Butter

2 cups White Sugar

4 Beaten Whole Eggs

Grate the rind off the lemons, squeeze the juice from the halved lemons, (Lemons can be Meyer or Lisbon or a mixture of both varieties), strain the juice through a tea strainer, add to the rind.   Then add the 2 cups of sugar, add the beaten eggs, lastly the butter cut into small pieces.

Half fill a saucepan with water, bring to the boil.   Have your lemon mixture in a heat proof bowl or stainless steel bowl, that will fit the saucepan of boiling water.   A bowl with a lip that will sit on the rim of the saucepan is best.    Using a wooden spoon keep stirring the lemon mixture as the water underneath keeps on a low/medium boil.   The mixture will thicken as it reaches just on the boil.   Turn off the heat.    Gently remove the bowl from the water.   Cool with a cloth covering it.   When cold put into small jars with lids.    Keep in the frig.    Lovely on toast, icecream, cheesecake, or pastries.
