A world-wide favorite made of - 1 cup sugar - 8 ounces.

3 lemons.

Butter, size of an egg -2 ounces.

4 to 6 yolks or 3 whole eggs -not particular.

Put the sugar, butter and grated rinds and juice into a saucepan and boil, add the yolks and stir until it becomes thick.

It looks like cold honey when it is cold. May be kept for weeks. Is good to spread jelly cakes with and to fill tartlets and eclairs. It is seldom worth while to make less than double the above amount.
