How to Make Nana's Lemon Cheese Lemon Spread For Microwave

  1. Zest and juice the lemons. (Avoid as much of the bitter white pith as possible.)
  2. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, eggs, sugar, and butter.
  3. Cover the bowl loosely with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap (leaving a small vent for steam).
  4. Microwave on high for 4 minutes.
  5. Remove from microwave and stir well.
  6. Microwave on high for another 4 minutes.
  7. Stir again. The curd will thicken as it cools.
  8. Let the curd cool completely to room temperature before stirring one last time. This allows it to fully thicken.
  9. Pour the lemon curd into small, sterilized jars.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the curd to set completely before serving.
  11. Enjoy! Share the sunshine with friends and family.
