Will's Microwave lemon curd

Makes about 2 cups. Good for jam drops or lemon meringue pie (if made the day before to allow the curd to set)

Ingredients

1 cup white sugar

3 eggs

1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)

zest of 3 lemons

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Method

1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until smooth and thoroughly combined. Whisk in lemon juice, lemon zest and butter.
2. Cook in the microwave on full power for one minute intervals, stirring after each minute. This process will take about 3-5 minutes depending on the strength of your microwave. You will know the lemon curd is done cooking when it coats the back of a metal spoon.
3. Remove from the microwave, and pour into sterile jar.
Storage Store lemon curd in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also substitute lime for lemon
