Italian Yellow Custard

 Marianne Appugliese (Texas) says:
I just finished making this custard. I followed this recipe and just added constant stiring and 4-5 minutes extra cooking time at the end with the eggs added. however I also stirred constantly and had the heat on low. I find that best when making custard or pudding. I would also cut down on the sugar next time, and added 1 more tablespoon butter. This custard is a nice thick smooth consitancy which I wanted to fill some home made Italian Peaches I made.
