--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      Large         Lemon
     3/4  Cup           Butter Or Margarine
   1      Cup           Sugar
   3                    Eggs

>From lemon, grate 1 tablespoon peel and squeeze 3 tablespoons
juice.

In double boiler over hot, not boiling, water, or in heavy
2-quart saucepan over low heat, stir lemon juice, lemon peel,
butter or margarine, and sugar until butter melts.

In small bowl, beat eggs slightly. <- Do not skip this step.
Add eggs to butter mixture and cook, stirring constantly,
until mixture is very thick and coats the back of a spoon
well, about 15 minutes (do not boil or mixture will curdle).
Refrigerate.
