Microwave Lemon Curd

• Ingredients

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

  • 3 medium lemon, zested

  Directions

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. Whisk sugar and eggs together in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth. Stir in lemon juice, melted butter, and lemon zest.

  3. Microwave on high in 1-minute intervals, stirring after each interval, until thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon.

  4. Pour into small sterile jars.

  Recipe Tip

  If you overcook the curd a little or forget to stir, you can pass it through a fine sieve to remove the bits of cooked egg.
