Lemon Curd (microwave)
2 large eggs
1c (7oz) sugar
7/8c lemon juice (from 4 lemons)
zest from two lemons
1/2c unsalted butter
After straining, the end result tastes fine, but it's really too much work. I don't like scrambled eggs in my curd, and it's too difficult to tell when it's done. It never actually seemed to thicken properly, but it did turn out in the end. I'd much rather pull up an stool and read for 10-15 minutes whilst whisking/stirring on the stovetop. Yielded 1 7/8c.
