Lemon curd in the microwave

Recipe Introduction


For years I made gallons of lemon curd in my double boiler, to use as a tart filling, to smear on scones and biscuits, to ladle on top of ice cream and pound cake, to give away as gifts.But my lemon-using life got a lot easier when I found that lemon curd could be made in the microwave.

The mixture will thicken further as it cools.


List of Ingredients









1 cup sugar

3 eggs

1 cup fresh lemon juice

Zest of 3 lemons

½ cup unsalted butter, cut in bits

In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until smooth. Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest and butter.

Cook in the microwave for 1-minute intervals, stirring well after each minute, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Remove from the microwave. (If there are any tiny bits of cooked egg in the mixture, pass it through a fine sieve.) Pour into small sterile jars.

Keeps well in the refrigerator for several weeks.
