Good Morning on this Tuesday. I'm waiting for my coffee to brew and my English muffin to toast. Nothing quite like lemon curd made from your own lemons for breakfast.
MICROWAVE LEMON CURD (makes about a cup)
Zest of one lemon
6 Tablespoons sugar
3 eggs
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup butter
Combine lemon zest, juice, butter and sugar in a micro-safe glass bowl of at least 4 cup capacity. Cover bowl with plastic wrap turned back to allow steam to escape. Microwave on high for 4 minutes.
Meanwhile beat eggs in a small bowl with a wire whisk. Gradually beat in about 1/2 of the hot lemon mixture. Pour this egg/lemon mixture back in the microwave bowl with the remaining hot mix, beating with a wire whisk to make it smooth. Microwave uncovered for 1 minute 30 seconds.
Remove bowl from microwave and whisk mixture until smooth. It should be thick enough to coat a spoon. If not thick enough, microwave 1 minute longer (I never had to do this). Whisk until smooth.
Put lemon curd in a one cup container and refrigerate. Keeps one month.
You can see all the citrus we picked from our river property in my yesterday's blog post. I'm now going to the Altered Book Lover blog to see what my friends have been up to. Please join us. It is a great group.
This was a fun T-Day entry to read. Including a recipe besides the drink: how great is that? :-) Happy T-Day.

ReplyDeleteI had no idea you could make lemon curd in the microwave or that it would keep for a whole month in the fridge. Thank you for the recipe, Darla.

I love an easy recipe like this- and it's especially appealing that it keeps for a month. Thanks for sharing and happy T day!

That lemon curd sounds fantastic. Good choice. And I bet it is delicious on your toast. Hope it was a wonderful T day. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteMy sincere apologies for not visiting sooner, but my electricity went out about 4ish this morning. It is finally back on and I keep getting interrupted while trying to play catch-up.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to make some lemon curd, especially since it's microwavable. I just hope I can find my zester. Haven't seen it since Christmas.
I am lusting over your cup and saucer. They are beautiful and of course would fit in well in my kitchen. Thanks for sharing your lemon curd recipe, your coffee, and English muffin (I visualized both) with us for T this Tuesday. Again, sorry I'm late visiting.
lemon curd is not common here, but it might be worth to give it a try! it really looks yummy! happy wednesday (i´m too late for thursday;))
ReplyDeleteThe lemon curd looks delicious, it is one of my favourite spreads for toast.
ReplyDeleteSorry I am late calling in and I send you best wishes for a good day.
