Autumn Apple Curd

I made a delicious strawberry curd last year, so when I had some egg yolks and apples to spare I thought why not try apple curd.

Ingredients
4 apples, grated
1 1/2 cups raw sugar
250g unsalted butter
3 tsp grated lemon zest
2 tbsp lemon juice
9 egg yolks

Method
Put the apple, sugar, butter, lemon zest and juice in a saucepan and cook over a low heat until the butter melts and sugar dissolves. Simmer gently for five minutes.

Beat the egg yolks in a large bowl and add the apple mixture while stirring. It will thicken as you stir.

Pour the mix back into the saucepan and stir over a low heat until it thickens further (about five minutes), then bottle. This made two large bottles of curd.
