- Lightly whisk the egg and stir into the lemon mixture, whisking until all of the ingredients are well combined. Leave to cook gently for about 8 to 10 minutes stirring occasionally until the mixture is thick and coats the back of a spoon. Allow to cool then use or transfer to a sterilised jar and store in the fridge until needed.
Tip
One lemon makes about 1 jar, so depending on how many jars you want, just scale it up.

What I find is that if a recipe comes from your Grandma it is usually a) straightforward and b) good. This is a smashing recipe which is very adaptable. I doubled the quantity and added the zest of the lemons as well. It tastes wonderful. Thank you Grannie 💕 - 06 Apr 2017
