Ingredients

175g unsalted butter
350g caster sugar
6 eggs
5 unwaxed lemons (important if using zest )

Handy Hint

Microwave wattage powers vary so times for each stage are only approximate. Recipe (and cooking times etc ) work well halved if you want a trial run... but recipe is so easy it never fails ! Will keep up to 6 weeks in fridge.

Method

1. Juice and zest the lemons. Chop butter into small pieces. Melt butter sugar and lemon in large microwavable bowl on full power for 3-4 mins or until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Stirring well every 2 mins.
2. Beat/whisk eggs until very smooth. Whisk into butter mixture and microwave for 6-8 mins, stirring every minute until curd thickens .
3. When curd cools spoon it into sterilised jars

This recipe can be used to make orange curd ,which is a tasty change from lemon . I use small plastic bowls and containers with lids instead of jars .This reduces waste and is handy for sharing !
