Dice the butter, grate the skins of the lemons for the zest (only grate off the yellow surface because the lower white pith will be very bitter), squeeze the lemons for the juice.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1

Firstly, pour about 2 inches / 5 cm of very hot water into the ceramic bowl of your slow cooker and turn it onto high heat. Put the lemon juice, lemon rind, sugar and butter into the largest heatproof bowl which will fit inside your slow cooker. Put the bowl into the slow cooker and pour enough near-boiling water to come halfway up the sides.

STEP 2

Leave the mixture in the slow cooker for about 15 minutes stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted. Take the bowl out of the cooker and leave to cool for a few minutes, then turn the cooker to a low heat.

Beat the eggs and egg yolks together and then strain them into the lemon curd mixture and whisk well until it is combined. Cover the bowl with foil and put it back into the slow cooker.
