Sylvia: I made a double batch of your Microwave Lemon Curd last night and can't believe how easy it

was. I used 2 eggs and 2 yolks since I had yolks leftover from making the Paradise Macaroons(yum). I have some wonderful last minute gifts now. I used pint jars, and wish I had the smaller 8 oz jars because I got just 3 pints. but I can surely make up some more. juicing the lemons is the hardest part. I did strain the curd. I'm baking some mini bundt pound cakes tonight to put in the baskets with the curd. yum.http://eat.at/swap/forum/index.php?action=display&forumid=1&msgid=50100

 
Haven't yet, but I'm trying it today to put into little tarts for tomorrow night - will report back

 
Important question: What is the power of your microwave? Because I am now painfully aware of just

how powerful mine is...and I don't want to waste these Meyer lemons by frying them.

 
I'm at work, so don't know, but I did it at 1 minute bursts, and finally 1.5 and even 2 to speed

it up a bit. try it at 75 % or 80% for the 1 minute segments. I think it should be fine. I ended up straining mine and it's lovely. David Lebovitz has a recent post on Meyer Lemon Curd. he cooked his stovetop, and that's what gave me the idea, but I wanted to try the microwave method, and just have Eureka lemons. His ingredient ratio is much different though. I covet your Meyer Lemons. Is that bad before Christmas??

 
next time(tonight) I'll use my immersion blender as a final smoothing and maybe I won't strain it.
