Step 1

Melt the butter in a small dish in the microwave. Whisk the sugar and eggs together in a medium size glass bowl. Add the lemon juice and zest, whisk again. Slowly add the butter and whisk once more until smooth.

Step 2

Microwave at 50% POWER for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave and stir. Microwave an additional minute at full power and stir again. Repeat the process, microwaving an additional 2-3 minutes and stirring after each minute. When the mixture is thick enough to coat a spoon, remove from the microwave and pour through a fine strainer to remove any flecks of zest.

Step 3

The curd will thicken from pourable to spoonable consistency as it cools. Pour into glass jars, cover with lids, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Enjoy!
