           3 lemons
      2 lg Or 3 small eggs
      4 oz Butter

  Wash the lemons and grate the rind finely. Place the lemon juice,
  grated rind, butter and sugar in a bowl set over a saucepan of hot
  water. Stir until the butter has melted and the sugar dissolved.
  Beat the eggs in a separate basin and add slowly to the lemon
  mixture, stirring all the time with a wooden spoon. Transfer to a
  saucepan and cook, stirring occa- sionally, until the curd thickens
  and coats the back of the spoon. Pour into warm jars, cover and
  seal.
