I have just made this recipe. I zested three medium lemons and then juiced them and got 3/4 cup juice. I added the zest along with the juice and sugar. I used eight egg yolks left over from a meringue extravaganza, and no egg white. It is very tasty and is cooling in the fridge now. I would have given it five stars if the recipe had been more complete, as mentioned by others.

The ingredients are showing a whole egg but the directions do not show it.
It took at least 10 min. for it to thicken up to coat the back of a spoon.
Did not yield the amount stated.

It doesn't give the complete recipe. Such as how much zest, when do you add the whole egg, the salt amount??? I would like to make this but I have too many questions.

How much lemon zest? It also doesn't say where the full egg goes, assuming it is with yolks.

I did not see where the w[filtered] egg is added. I suppose it is with the egg yolks?
Warm wishes, Leona

I'm curious about the w[filtered] egg. It is nowhere in the directions. And how much lemon zest because that is in the directions.

I doubled this recipe and got 2 cups. Very easy, although I used a double boiler to be safe...

tasty lemon curd! My only complaint is that the recipe did not yield the stated amount of 1.5c. I recommend doubling the recipe if that is your desired amount.

One thing I would add to Martha's recipe is to place the egg yolks in a small basket strainer before adding to the sugar mixture. You can do this easily by stirring to break the yolk membrane and then adding your lemon juice as you stir the entire mixture through the sieve. This removes those unsightly concretions that adhere to egg yolks and cause lumps in sauces and lemon curds.

Yes, Bubental. You could freeze the lemon curd for up to a year.

Love the cake,love the curd, but it is a good idea that when you file this recipe, type the curd recipe doubled.

Whipped up Heavy Whipping Cream and folded it with the cooled Lemon Curd. Then layered the lemony mixture between layers of white cake and fresh strawberries. Yummy! Next tIme I think I will make with layers of Lemon curd and the lemony whipped cream. Oh the lemony goodness! It was so hard not to eat it all with a spoon, and only limiting myself to licking the bowls, spoons, and pots! Why have I not discovered Lemon Curd sooner!?
