• In a large, heat-safe mixing bowl, combine zest, juice, sugar, and eggs.
• Bring a pot of water to a simmer over medium-low heat, then place bowl on top. (It should fit snugly--this will serve as your double-boiler.) Whisk mixture constantly for 3-5 minutes; it should begin to thicken very slightly.
• Add butter, then continue cooking and whisking constantly until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon without dripping off. Turn off heat and allow curd to cool to room temperature.
