   Shared by Jo Schekman
   
   Finely grated rind and the juice from 4 lemons.(try to avoid the
   white part when grating, as this tends to be bitter), and strain the
   juice. 4 eggs
   
   Beat the eggs just a little, put all ingredients into a double boiler
   or a bowl standing in hot water. Cook slowly until thick, checking
   every now and then to make sure all the water in the bottom pan
   hasn't boiled away. Should be nice and thick and smooth. Put into HOT
   jars, and cover when cold.
