Instructions

Zest and juice lemons.
Add all ingredients, in the order listed, to the Deluxe Cooking Blender. Replace and lock the lid. Turn the wheel to select the SAUCE setting; press the wheel to start.
When prompted to “ADD”, press cancel. Carefully remove the lid, and transfer to a heat safe container.
Depending on your container, you may want to cover the curd with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Cool completely prior to using to fill tartlets, cakes, etc.

Notes

You can use the straining bag that comes with the blender to strain the curd to ensure there aren’t any bits of zest, although I have never found this step necessary when using the blender.
