Ingredientes
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- grated rind from 2 lemons (I used about 2 rounded Tablespoons)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled slightly
Direcciones
- 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, high power for 3-4 minutes at 1 minute intervals, stirring well after each minute, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. (I cooked for 1 minute twice then 30 seconds and finally three times at 15 seconds). Pour into small sterile jars.
- NOTES:
- After squeezing the lemons, I poured the juice through a strainer to catch the seeds and pulp. The first batch, I did not strain out the pulp. I did notice tiny bits of pulp in the finished mixture but it was pleasant and I thought it added a bit of brightness to the taste. If you want yours silky smooth, strain out the pulp.
- I whisked the eggs well to be sure they incorporated completely with no pieces of cooked egg in the curd.
- The Lemon Curd can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks. It can be stored in the freezer up to a year.
- This recipe filled three glasses (each glass held about 3/4 cup) with a little leftover.
