Easy Microwave Lemon Curd Recipe ~ Noreen's Kitchen

Greetings! Did you know how easy it is to make lemon curd? Not as hard as you might have thought! I make mine in the microwave and it couldn't be easier. Lemon juice, butter, a few eggs and you are all set.
This takes a little time, but not as much time as making a custard style curd on top of the stove takes. In my microwave it takes less than 10 minutes and then you have to let the curd cool. I am planning on using this curd in a lemon meringue cupcake that I will be doing a recipe video for in the next few days so be sure to stay tuned for that!
This curd is smooth, tart, sweet and delicious and is everything that a lemon curd should be. I have to hide the jar from my girls because they just dig in with a spoon and move on. Then I have to make more, but the good news is, that making more is a snap!
You can use freshly squeezed or good quality, organic lemon juice for this recipe and I have made it both ways and it is delicious either way. I have used the zest of one lemon, but caution you to be sure to use unwaxed organic lemons for that because conventionally grown lemons have food grade, petroleum wax on them, just like cucumbers, apples and lots of other fruits and veggies. The non waxed version is much better to deal with when zesting for recipes.
You can use this curd to fill cakes, spread on toast or make some killer lemon tarts with!
I hope you give this easy microwave lemon curd a try and I hope you love it!
Happy Eating!

*NOTE* Please refrain from leaving comments about how dangerous it is to use a microwave and/or how microwaving food removes all the nutrients from them. This is unfounded science that has no conclusive evidence to back it up. Microwaves use nuclear technology, they do not use nuclear components. They do not have or emit radiation. The microwaves simply heat up water molecules faster so they cook things faster. That is all. If you would like more information, you can find it here:
