Microwave Lemon Curd - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 Tbsp. (1 stick) unsalted butter
3 large eggs
1 c. granulated sugar
grated peel of 3 large lemons
1/2 c. fresh lemon juice

Preparation

In a microwavable bowl, microwave the butter for about 3 minutes on High, until melted.
In a small microwave-proof bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon peel and juice until well combined.
Whisk in the melted butter.
Microwave on High for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, whisking often
(may take longer), until the curd is smooth and thick enough to coat a wooden spoon.
Remove from microwave and pour into hot sterilized jars (or glass bowl with a cover if you're going to use within a couple of days). Cover and allow to cool at room temperature.
Store in refrigerator and use within 4 weeks.
