Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup fresh lemon juice
½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
3 medium lemon, zested

Directions

Whisk sugar and eggs together in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth. Stir in lemon juice, melted butter, and lemon zest.
Microwave on high in 1-minute intervals, stirring after each interval, until thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Pour into small sterile jars.

Tips

If you overcook the mixture a little, or forget to stir, you can pass the mixture through a fine sieve to remove the bits of cooked egg.
