Citrus Curd

Serves: 2 cups
 
Ingredients
  •  1 cup white sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup fresh squeezed orange, lime and lemon juice (all 3 combined make 1 cup)
  • zest of 1 orange, 1 lime and 2 lemons
  • ½ cup butter, melted (1 stick)
Instructions
  1. In a microwave safe dish, whisk together sugar and eggs until smooth. Add in the juice, zest and butter. Microwave in 1 minute intervals, stirring after each minute. The curd is done when the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. (This varies by microwave, but mine took 4 minutes).
  2. Remove from microwave and pass through a sieve to remove any little bits of egg, and zest. The curd will get a little thicker as it cools. Pour into small sterile jars and store refrigerated for up to 3 weeks.
Notes
First zest the fruit, before squeezing out the juice. It is much easier this way.
