"From the 09/06/09 issue of Parade magazine article by Dorie Greenspan. Though we have many lemon curd recipes on Recipezaar, this begs to be posted. I have not made this. Please note the shelf time!"

This was my first try at making lemon curd and I found this recipe very easy to make. My cooking time was exactly 10 minutes and it thickened up beautifully once it had completely cooled. I think it's delicious and I can't wait to have my brother-in-law try it as he is the lemon curd expert (or so he says, LOL). Made for Fall 2009 Pick A Chef.
