Incredibly Easy Lemon Curd, Ecuadorean Style.

I don't know if this were any easier than a standard lemon curd recipe but it doesn't matter because it was very yummy! I cut the recipe in half but used the same amount of lemon juice.
This would be good, too substituting other citrus-orange, grapefruit, etc. I tried a small amount on a slice of brown sugar shortbread and was wise enough to give the rest to my mother in law who swiftly scooped up the jar in her arms, dashed out the front door and drove away down the street 'burning rubber' as the saying goes... I regret giving the jar away as I type this review. ;) Reviewed for Veg Tag/June.

This is a fantastic low cal recipe. It actually took a long time on the double boiler but after 20min on the stove I put it in the microwave at low power for a minute and voila! that did the trick. So am sure this can be made completely in the microwave with good results.

This is quite tasty. I did the same as mikekey with the splenda. Instead of the cornstarch I used arrowroot powder, but next time I'll cut the amount in half. It became too thick, so I thinned it with some water. I know the egg yolks add fat, and you can't do without them, but this is not that bad for diets. I put some on a low-fat english muffin and it was YUMMY.

This is pretty easy and good. I used half sugar and half Splenda. I served this on gingerbread -( Lightened up Gingerbread Cake ) Reminded me of my grandmother's lemon curd.

This is a very easy recipe. Thanks, Chef Kate. I prepared it exactly as directed and it turned out, predictably, very tart and lemony-sweet. I would have given it one more star if the cornstarch hadn't lingered on to give a slightly chalky mouth-feel to the finished product. Still, i used for the "Earl-Grey tea cake layered with lemon curd" also found on recipezaar and will use this method again.

Really easy with good flavor. I heated it in a saucepan and then pushed it through a strainer. Thanks for sharing!

Wow! This was wonderful and really was "incredibly easy". Lemon Curd is one of my favorite foods! Especially with whipped cream and raspberries...so since I'd also made Raspberry Walnut Torte I had them together and was in heaven! I followed the instructions exactly but used a double boiler. The only thing I wondered about was if I should have melted the butter but I didn't and it still worked fine. Thank you so much for a keeper recipe! Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders game.

This has to be the easiest lemon curd recipe ever invented and I encourage anyone even slightly squeamish about making this yummy recipe to go ahead. The only thing I did different was make it over a double boiler 'cos I know how easily this stuff either sticks to the bottom of the pot or deliberately curdles when you're not looking. Dunno why no-one has come up with something so easier before...it's quite logical when you think about it.
