LEMON CURD

I was reading in the Women's Weekly that Mary Berry's use of lemon curd in her recipes resulted in the sales of lemon curd to soar.  You don't have to buy the commercial product a cup of fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons) will give you two 500g jars. 

What you need:

250ml fresh lemon juice,
125g butter
625ml (2 1/2 cups) sugar
4 extra-large eggs, beaten

How to make it:

1.  Place lemon juice and sugar in a large heat-resistant bowl, microwave on 100% (high) power, five minutes.  Stir every minute.
2.  Slowly add beaten eggs to the hot mixture whisking continuously.  Microwave on 100% (high) power, six minutes, stirring well each minute.  Allow to cool before bottling.
3.  Mixture will set after cooling.
