For a smoother curd, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve after cooking. Adjust the sugar to your taste. If you prefer a tarter curd, reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup. Sterilize jars by boiling them in water for 10 minutes, then let them air dry. Lemon curd will thicken further as it cools.

Dec 21, 2024My curd turned out a little lumpy the first time. Make sure you stir really well after each microwave interval! The second time was perfect.
