Preparation
In a medium bowl, combine the cubed butter and honey.
Starting on a low speed and working up to higher speeds, cream the mixture until fluffy.
While beating the mixture, slowly add the egg yolks and eggs. Then, add the zest and lemon juice to the bowl and blend again.
Pour the mixture into a medium-sized, non-reactive saucepan.
Cook over medium-low heat while stirring constantly with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon for 10 to 20 minutes.
Once the mixture starts looking smooth and shiny, slowly increase the heat to medium.
Continue cooking until the mixture has thickened and the spoon meets resistance when stirred.
When the mixture boils, cook for 15 more seconds while stirring constantly, then remove from heat.
Let the curd cool, pipe them into desired desserts, and enjoy!
