Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 egg yolks and whites
- 1 cup lime juice about 12 limes, fresh
- 1 tablespoon lime zest from about 4-6 limes
- ½ cup butter melted, unsalted
Instructions
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until smooth and thoroughly combined. Whisk in lime juice, lime zest and melted butter.
- Cook in the microwave on full power for one minute intervals, stirring after each minute. This process will take about 3-5 minutes depending on the strength of your microwave. You will know the lime curd is done cooking when it coats the back of a metal spoon.
- Remove from the microwave, push through a fine, mesh sieve and pour into a sterile jar or container.
- Once the curd has cooled to room temperature, cover it with a lid and store it in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks. The curd will thicken as it cools.
