Photo from "http://flickr.com/photos/kochtopf/224450796/":http://flickr.com/photos/kochtopf/224450796/ 52 * Juice of 2 large lemons or 4 small limes * 2 eggs * [[110g]] caster [[sugar and syrups|sugar]] * [[60g]] [[butter]] # Mix the lemon (or lime) juice and eggs together and strain the liquid into a bowl. Stir in the sugar and then add the butter. # Cover the bowl with cling film and cook the mixture on high for 1 minute. # Remove the wrap and give the mixture a stir. Return the bowl, uncovered, to the microwave and cook on medium for 6 minutes, a minute at a time, until the lemon curd thickens. Whisk well after every minute, to prevent curdling. # Using oven gloves remove the bowl from the microwave and continue whisking until the mixture begins to cool down. The lemon curd will begin to thicken on cooling. Serve on toast or croissants for breakfast. Or use to top yogurt or ice cream. If you have got some old lemons or limes heading for the bin, transform them into this quick mouth watering preserve. It’s really fast to make in the microwave and the mixture is less likely to curdle if it is made this way. true true false false false true false false true 3.03598030551698017927029415477844 7921 24048.0 1 false approved http://www.vimeo.com/417747 caroline@lovefoodhatewaste.com 4e252ad5adf7e232 2 false Banbury Caroline Marson
