Ingredients
- 200 g Caster Sugar
- 3 Eggs (large)
- 200 ml Lemon Juice (about 4 large lemons)
- 1 tbsp Lemon Zest (very finely grated)
- 110 g Unsalted Butter (melted and cooled)
Method
- Whisk the eggs and sugar in a large microwaveable bowl until pale and fluffy.
- Stir in the melted butter (cooled), lemon juice and lemon zest. Whisk to combine thoroughly.
- Microwave in 1-minute bursts, whisking each time. You want the lemon curd to coat the back of a spoon - then you know it's done. It took just 3 minutes for my lemon curd to come together but the exact time it takes you will depend on the wattage of your microwave.
- Decant into sterilised jars and store in the fridge.
