- Get all ingredients prepared as the cooking process needs to be very fast. Juice and zest lemons, separate eggs.
- Heat water, sweetener and cornflour in a pan until it is bubbling slightly, whisking ALL the time (don't stop or it will go lumpy and horrible).
- Quickly add whisked egg yolks, lemon juice and lemon zest.
- Whisk until simmering.
- Put into sterilised jars or bowls to cool. Don't put it straight in the fridge or it will go lumpy. Allow to cool and then eat within 1 month.

Beautiful consistency, tasted lovely. I made it with 3 very large lemons and it was very sharp, so had to add more sweetener, but we still enjoyed it - 18 Apr 2015
