It is so easy to make CC and very relaxing.

The nutmeg is good in it Antonia, but not overpowering.

Hi Olga, I quite like to take a little tub of it to work to have on oatcakes. I am thinking of trying it spread on a cake too.

This looks lovely! And the plate is adorable. I made lemon curd in the summer, but could not eat more than a few spoonfulls :(

I adore lemon curd and can literally eat it straight from the jar. This is a really interesting version with nutmeg - I'd never havet thought about the combination but it sounds really rather good! Great idea.

Lovely colour to your curd. When I made lemon curd I couldn't believe how easy it was and wondered why people buy it ready made.

Hi Jinx, nice to meet you :)

Thanks Astra :)

Hey Muse, it is good on spread in between layers of cakes, on scones, toast, rice cakes & oatcakes. With ice cream too!

Hi Lo, a woman after my own heart! There is not much left!

You should try it Cynthia!

It's very much a personal thing Mike, but I prefer to make it in a pan on the cooker top.

It is a shame that eggs don't agree with you Tadmack, for I think you would like this :)

Thanks Beth :)

What do you eat it with Arundathi ?

It is lovely Ricki! It feels like you are giving yourself a treat.

Lemon curd, strawberries and shortcake. What a fabulous combination Val :)

I would like to know how that goes Davimack :)

Nah! It is much more interesting to whisk it Alexa.You feel more like yoou ae creating something :)

Hi Wendy, I am more shocked by the lack of mobile! I think I could live without my microwave quite easily, but not my phone!

Hi Ninja, in place of jam or any sweet topping really, although it is quite tart too!

Hi Lynn, it certainly takes up too much counter space in the kitchen!

The nutmeg tastes beautiful against the lemon Silvie :)

The nutmeg sounds like an interesting addition to the lemon curd!

2008-11-09T13:49:00.000Z

I know what you mean about not using the microwave enough. When my last one gave up the ghost, I decided that I'd rather get rid of what was no more than a kitchen ornament and put something useful in the space. That was about 6 years ago, and, apart from one occasion when I had to ask a neighbour to use her's (and it had nothing to do with food), I've not missed it at all.

2008-11-09T09:59:00.000Z

This looks delicious. I'm going to ask a stupid question : what do we eat lemon curd with? Do we spread it like jam on bread ? I never had lemon curd before.

2008-11-08T22:38:00.000Z

Adore lemon curd but have never made it with nutmeg before. Will have to try that some time.

I don't have a microwave, much to the disbelief of my friends and family. Don't know whether they are more shocked by that or by the fact that D doesn't have a mobile phone. :)

2008-11-08T20:15:00.000Z

Lemon curd in the microwave? It sounds easier than standing in front of the stove until it all thickens up. It looks delicious too.

In the ...microwave. Interesting! I've never successfully made lemon curd (and I think I've had a smidgen of a spoonful only once) because of the eggs, and I thought it would smell eggy. But everyone is always so enthused about it, so it must be good. Shall have to try it.

I've got a bunch of lemon on my hand and was just thinking about making curd. Never heard of it with a microwave!

You know, I've never had lemon curd.

This looks so delicious. Do you eat it like a dessert, or is it more like a topping or dip?

I linked over from Burp! and am so glad I did!

I haven't made lemon curd for years, I think because I never knew how long it would store in the fridge. Time to make another batch, I think!

I'll be back!

2008-11-07T12:45:00.000Z

Hope you try it Eunice :)

I didn't make mine in the microwave Peter, but I do have a recipe for one to make in the microwave, if anyone wants it.

You could be right Manggy, because I basically made this up as I went on, although it came out fantastically smmoth and thick once it was cooled! I wasn't sure how much it would thicken up as it set. I think the trick is just to judge it yourself as you are cooking it :)

Hi FlowerIf I can find an email for you, I will send you the microwave recipe.

How do you make it in the microwave?? I love lemon curd although Ive only successfully made passionfruit curd (it took ages), but I may have another go after seeing yours

2008-11-07T05:12:00.000Z

Ooh, I love me some lemon curd. I'll have to try the kick of nutmeg sometime :) 30 minutes sounds longer than I've ever done it-- I think a temperature of 180°F (around 10 minutes) is sufficient for a very thick curd that will thicken some more as it cools and goes in the fridge.
