In a large microwave proof bowl,microwave butter,lemon peel and juice on full power for 3 minutes.Stir in sugar.Microwave for 2 minutes.Stir in eggs and eggyolk a little at a time.Microwave on low power for 12 to 15 minutesor untilcurd thickens,stirring occasionally.
Ladle hot curd into hot jars.Cover and leave to cool.
Eat at your leisure with home made bread and butter.

That sounds not only incredibly easy Budgie B, but extremely delicious.  Have copied and will give it a try.  All I will need then is Tims' Fabulous Bread. Thanks!  :P busy_lizzie

But breads simple busy_ lizzie and very satisfying to make especially on a cold wet weekend.

Love your Snowglobe snowman Budgie B!  I have somehow never been very hot on making bread, had been hoping that Tim would do the honours and give out his recipe, but if you have a good one and its not too longwinded for you to post.  It would be gratefully received. Thanks!  :D busy_lizzie

This one is better and should read "How to tell if you've been bad"but it is too small so i'm still searching for the right one.
I use a bread maker to the dough stage and then do the rest by hand as i like a well baked loaf. Usually very successful I just use the basic mix per instructions.

I LOVE lemon curd!  Try making it with limes or oranges instead.  I thought I was the only person in the world that liked it - I have never met another, then I found you lot!  Yippee for this site!!   ;D
