Notes
Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of food borne illness especially if you have certain medical conditions, are pregnant, or have a compromised immune system. To be sure your eggs are thoroughly cooked use a thermometer, they should reach 160F according to eggsafety.org.
If you use Meyer lemons reduce the sugar to 1/2 - 2/3 cup because they are less tart than regular lemons.
You can use 5 whole eggs. Your curd will have a slightly fluffier texture.
