Easy Microwave Citrus Curd ~ a quick, easy, and healthy method for making any type of citrus curd!
Share:
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup citrus juice
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice, for all curds EXCEPT lemon
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
Instructions
- Whisk the sugar and juice together in a medium sized microwave safe mixing bowl.
- Whisk in the eggs, making sure to get them completely broken up and smoothly incorporated.
- Put the bowl in the microwave and set for 4 minutes at full power.
- Whisk the mixture after the first and second minute. Then whisk every 20-30 seconds.
- The curd is ready when it has thickened. It will get lighter in color and be like the texture of a cooked pudding. It will puff up in the bowl, and when you whisk it it will settle down. You may not need the full 4 minutes.
- Pour the curd through a mesh strainer and then into a jar or jars. Don't skip the straining step, even though you might not see any lumps in your curd, chances are there are bits of cooked egg white in there.
- Let cool and then cap and refrigerate. The curd will thicken further as it chills.
Notes
- I have a pretty standard microwave at 1000 watts. Your could be stronger or weaker, so adjust your cooking time if that is the case.
