MINUTES

Ingredients

  • 50g (2oz) butter

  • 100g (3 ½ oz) caster sugar

  • grated zest and juice of 2 yuzu or 2 lemons

  • 2 organic eggs and 1 organic egg yolk whisked (keep white aside for meringue)

Method

  1. Melt the butter on a very low heat. Add the caster sugar, yuzu zest and juice and then add the whisked eggs.

  2. Stir carefully over a gentle heat with a straight ended wooden spatula until the mixture coats the back of it. Remove from the heat and pour into a bowl or sterilized jar (it will thicken further as it cools.)
