Lemon Curd

I make this recipe in the microwave.  It is very good and easy


1/4 lb. unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
grated zest of 1 lemon
3 eggs

1.  Place butter, sugar, juice, and zest together in a 4-cup glass measure.  Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap.  Cook at 100% for 4 min.

2.  Remove from oven, uncover and stir well.

3.  Whisk 1/4 cup of lemon mixture into the eggs to warm them.  Whisking constantly, pour egg mixtgure back into remaining lemon mixture.

4.  Cook, uncovererd at 100% for 2 minutes.  Remove from oven and whisk until smooth.  Cook 2 min. longer.

5.  Remove from oven and immediately pour into the workbowl of food processor.  Process for 30 seconds until smooth.  Cool before serving.

This is outstanding and you can also combine with whipped cream to ice cake.  I sometimes fill little shells and serve them
