Tip

If you find the curd is not thick enough then cook for a further 5 minutes/80C/sp3.

Sterilise jars while curd is cooking so they are hot when you add the liquid.

I place my jars in the microwave, filled with 1/3 water, heat for 1-5min.  Pour hot water from the jars over the lids ready to seal.

    Great recipe - I needed to use 12 egg yolks (made meringues) so made a double batch. Kept my fingers crossed. Cooked probably another 8-9 minutes as after 5 minutes it was still quite runny. Another 3-4 mins it was better. Now its cooled down the consistency is fabulous and will be good for spreading if required. Thank you

    Great recipe, thank you, nicely. Used the extra cooking time. Might reduce the sugar and increase lemon rind next time. Just what I was after to use egg yolks leftover from a Pavlova.

    This is a great recipe! I always double the quantity, as I make meringue with the egg whites. I only use 10 yolks, and can be heavy handed with the rind. I keep everything else the same, don’t use the butterfly and cook for 15 minutes. It thickens up nicely every time. So glad I’ve found a great lemon curd recipe.

  • Did you use lemons with thick

    Submitted by Taniav on 21. December 2015 - 20:31.

    Did you use lemons with thick skins, thin skinned lemons don't thicken.

    Submitted by cozlet on 11. May 2015 - 13:50.

    So disappointed with my thermomix. Have always been a decent cook but now my fail rate is constant. Is it just the recipes on here are untested? I followed this one exactly. Have now done 2 rounds of the extra 5mins. Triple checked all ingredients. It's just runny nothing. Have made lemon curd in the microwave for years and it's delicious. Was hoping this would be faster and require less attention. Instead I'm still standing here having to check on it and it takes longer than the traditional method. Not great.

    The extra time and heat makes it turn out perfectly. Made it tonight and licked the bowl clean.

    Submitted by Cherie Connor on 8. July 2014 - 15:22.

    Hi Kirrily.  The curd is a thick liquid once cooked.  It does thicken a little more once it's been in the fridge.  This curd isn't like the store bought ones so it doesn't set extremely thick but it shouldn't be runny.

  • Hi Tanya.  If it isn't thick

    Submitted by Cherie Connor on 8. July 2014 - 15:20.

    Hi Tanya.  If it isn't thick enough after the specified cooking time cook it again for another 5 minutes same temp and speed.  I keep doing this until it is the thickness I want.  I do find it varies from batch to batch whether I need to cook for longer.  Having hot jars helps to seal the lid without tipping jars upside down, which can explode.  I've only stored in jars so not sure how it goes in a container.  Did it thicken up for you once in the fridge?

  • I've made this last night,

    Submitted by mrstj on 3. March 2014 - 10:30.

    I've made this last night, but mine was quite liquidy also. I've popped it in the fridge after it cooled, so hopefully it will thicken. Does the jar or container have to be hot? I didn't have a jar, but I did sterilise a container. Just wondering if it makes a difference?

  • Does this thicken when it

    Submitted by Kirrilly on 5. February 2014 - 18:03.

    Does this thicken when it cools? Mine is still thick liquid straight into the jar, but I was hoping to spread it on toast!
