Lemon Cheese

Makes about 3 cups

From England and used as cake or tart filling or pastry topping, good spread on toast.

In the top of a double boiler, beat 6 eggs, add 1/2 cup butter, 2 cups sugar, and 1/4 cup lemon juice.

Cook, stirring, over hot water until very thick (about 30 minutes). Keeps indefinitely, chilled, in a covered jar. ( If you can!) Put it in small jare as it gets grainy when stirred and you should use the whole jar.
