Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 cup sugar
¾ cup fresh lime juice
¼ cup butter
1 tablespoon lime zest
2 large eggs, beaten
Directions
Place sugar, lime juice, butter, and lime zest in the top of a double boiler; stir over medium-high heat until butter melts.
Temper eggs by mixing 2 tablespoons hot lime mixture into eggs, stir to blend.
Reduce heat to medium until water simmers. Slowly whisk egg mixture into the lime mixture. Cook over the double boiler until lime mixture thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon, 20 to 25 minutes.
Cool slightly and spoon into a clean, glass jar. Cover and refrigerate.
