Ingredients

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice {about 8-10 lemons}
  • Zest of 3 lemons
  • 1/2 cup butter melted {I use salted}

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the sugar and eggs until smooth in a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Add lemon juice, lemon zest and butter and stir until fully incorporated.
  3. Microwave on high in one minute intervals for 5-6 minutes. Stir well after each minute. The mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon.
  4. Store in a jar or tight-seal tupperware in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
