Lemon Curd 

1 cup sugar
3 eggs, large
1 cup fresh lemon juice
zest of 3 large lemons
1 stick butter (do not substitute), melted

 1 Grab a medium sized, microwave safe bowl, melt butter ... cool, add sugar and eggs and whisk until very smooth
2 Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice ... yummy
3 Pop in the microwave and cook, on high, for 2 minutes
4 Stir and cook for 1 minute, on high
5 Repeat step 4 until the curd is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. You can also us a candy thermometer to check the temp. Lemon Curd is the perfect consistency at 196F
6 When you’ve reached the perfect consistency, cover the mixture with cling wrap placed directly on the surface of the curd.
7 Refrigerate until set, a few hours.

 Wasn’t that simple ... makes about 2 1/4 Cups and is fabulous on toast, on top of ice cream, as a layer filling for cake, injected into cupcakes, or my favorite .... fresh berries, topped with lemon curd, topped with granola and whipped cream ...
