Lemon Curd Recipe

  • Recipe Submitted by on

 Ingredients List

  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs

 Directions

Combine all of the ingredients in a large microwave-safe bowl. To avoid bubble-overs, the contents should fill no more than 1/4 of the bowl; an 8-cup measure works well here.
Microwave the ingredients in 1-minute increments, removing from the oven and stirring to combine after each minute.
When curd starts to thicken; coats the back of a spoon; and starts to mound a bit as you stir, it's done. This will take anywhere from 4 to 10 minutes, depending on the strength/power of your microwave. The curd's temperature should have reached at least 185°F.
Stir the curd one more time, spoon it into a storage container, and refrigerate until firm.
Keep curd refrigerated for up to 3 weeks; freeze for longer storage.
