Bonus Sunday Recipe

I love Lemon Curd but haven’t made it for years, it is a long process and makes too much, apart from the sugar content. However, I have just discovered this recipe which makes small amounts in the microwave so I will be off buying lemons as soon as I can. I found the recipe on Facebook and it comes from Kitchen Explorers. If you check the link there is also a recipe for a delicious looking lemon tart.

Homemade Lemon Curd Recipe that can be made in 7 minutes using the microwave method. Using sugar, egg, fresh lemon juice, and butter, you can have a fresh and tangy lemon curd to spread on your favorite pastry or use as part of a filling / dessert.
