Author: My Frugal Adventures.com
Recipe type: Dessert, Sauce
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
- Zest of 3 lemons
- Start by melting your butter- I like to let it cool just a little before adding it to the eggs.
- Next add one cup of sugar and 3 eggs to a microwave safe bowl.
- Whisk well until nice and smooth.
- Zest 3 lemons and add the zest to your sugar mixture along with the lemon juice.
- Whisk to blend.
- Add the melted butter (hopefully it has cooled for a few minutes) and stir to incorporate.
- Next add the mixture to the microwave in 1 minute intervals.
- Remove after one minute and stir.
- Repeat this process until the curd is slightly thick- just enough to coat the back of a metal spoon.
- Pour the contents of the bowl through a strainer to remove the lemon zest.
- Place in a mason jar and let cool for about an hour and then refrigerate.
- The curd will thicken as it cools- I keep it in the fridge for several hours to overnight and it is ready to go the next day.
