Sodium: All of our recipes are low in sodium because it is hard on kidneys and raises blood pressure. Most people should limit sodium to 1,500 milligrams per day.

Potassium: If you are on hemodialysis, limit potassium too, to 2,000 milligrams per day. If you are on peritoneal dialysis or short daily dialysis, limit potassium to 3,500 milligrams per day.

Phosphorus: If you are on dialysis, limit phosphorus to about 1,000 milligrams per day.

Protein: If you are not on dialysis but have kidney disease, you might benefit from a diet lower in protein. Check with a kidney doctor or dietitian for guidelines.

Ingredients

Based on serving is 2 tablespoons servings per recipe.

2/3 cup lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
2 cups granulated sugar
zest from 4 lemons
1 cup unsalted butter, frozen if possible
4 whole plus 1 yolk eggs, well beaten

Preparation

In saucepan heat sugar, lemon juice and peel until sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat and add butter. Let melt.
When mixture is about room temperature, dribble in eggs slowly, and whisk in.
Return mixture to heat over double boiler. Remove when mixture thickens, or when it reaches 170 degrees.
Continue stirring curd over double boiler (which has been removed from heat), for 5 minutes, or until thickened. Mixture will coat a spoon thickly.
Pour through a fine strainer.
