Comment préparer Lemon Curd Stove Top Or Microwave Method Lime Or Orange Curd

**Stovetop Method:**
In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup lemon zest, and 1 cup fresh lemon juice.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and whisk in 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until melted and fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 2 large egg yolks until light and frothy.
Gradually whisk the hot lemon mixture into the egg mixture, ensuring to temper the eggs (adding hot mixture slowly prevents scrambling).
Return the mixture to the saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 10-15 minutes, or until the curd thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve (optional, for a smoother curd).
Pour into a sterilized jar, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to set.
**Microwave Method:**
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup lemon zest, and 1 cup fresh lemon juice.
Microwave on high for 10 seconds to soften the butter.
Whisk in 2 large eggs and 2 large egg yolks until well combined.
Cover the bowl with parchment paper (to prevent splattering).
Microwave on high for 1-minute intervals, stirring vigorously after each minute, for a total of 3-4 minutes, or until the curd thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Remove from microwave and strain through a fine-mesh sieve (optional).
Pour into a sterilized jar, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
