-
Place the egg yolks into the top of a double boiler or a heat-proof bowl. Beat vigorously for a minute. Add sugar and beat for another minute. Add lemon juice and zest and give it another good stir.
-
Place bowl over a pot of simmering water (make sure the bowl isn't touching the water). Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens. This can take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes.

Stir in the butter a piece at a time, whisking until each piece is nearly completely melted before adding another one.

Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a storage container. Cool for a bit. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Will keep for about 5 –7 days in the refrigerator.

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Lemon Curd that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
