im just super freaking glad that someone shares the exact same level of enthusiasm as i do when talking about lemons, lemon flavor, lemon squares, lemon everything.
I made this. On a scale of 1 to 10, this is an 11! Wife's taste buds are messed up due to chemo but this on toast is her go-to now!

Mix well. -strain and let the curd cool down.

I mix lemon curd into cheesecake filling. Tons of lemon flavour, no chance of curdling your mixture. This is an upgrade on my current lemon curd recipe. Thanks John!!
I made a triple batch of your lemon curd. I did not strain the zest. Wonderfully tart and good by itself on a spoon. I had this idea to make a lemon curd cheesecake. Using lemon wafers (similar to vanilla wafers) for the crust, I topped with my favorite creamy cheese cake batter and swirled in tablespoons of the curd. Incredible taste. The lemon wafer crust is subtle and complemented by the creamy cheese cake and tart curd. I am now on the third lemon curd cheesecake. One I took to work, one for my daughters birthday and one for my wife and I to enjoy. Still have lemon curd left over. Thanks. Enjoy the videos, bloopers, and energy you bring when preparing your favorite dishes.
John, I ALWAYS use your recipes and they have NEVER failed me. First time cheesecake with your guidance: perfect. First time macarons: perfect. Lemon curd, Italian merengue, etc. All perfect thanks to your recipes and tips! I am truly becoming an amazing Baker thanks to you!
Can’t wait to make it. This is exactly why I like to make my own stuff. LESS PRESERVATIVES. Fresh is always better. I also love the smell of lemons. I use lemon essential oil in my diffuser in my salon. Everyone alway compliments it.
I love a bit of lemon curd swirled with authentic Greek yoghurt and sometimes some chopped fruit, and a light breakfast or a snack. The sweetness and brightness pairs really well with the tanginess and creaminess of the yoghurt. I know not everyone likes Greek yoghurt but if you do, I recommend it :)
I love how he never talks about the virus, and just has a smile on his face! Thank you for taking our mind if what’s happening in the world right now! 🙃
Exactly. I appreciate that as well. Like we're going on you tube watching videos like this to get our minds OFF of that. It does nothing for us when that's all to they bring up lol.
jazzman0310 Technically he can’t talk about the virus unless he wants to be demonetized. But I’ll always appreciate being able to go back to these recipes without hearing “due to the current state of the world” and other things along those lines :)
65 thousand liked this recipe. I'm not surprised. I've made it several times. It beats anything shop bought! I love it. And I love making British Lemon curd tarts. Thank you x
I made this lemon curd recipe this morning for my lemon cheesecake and it is spectacular. Processing the sugar and zest is an absolute game changer! It took some time to get the curd to thicken on the stove, but some whisk whisk whisk and it all came together well. Good stuff! Thank you!
Has anyone made this in the IP blender? Wondering if it’s possible. Just got the unit and will be making a ton of no sodium sauces…forever been wanting to make lemon curd and Devonshire cream…. Because they’re so expensive where I am!!
I made this curd and added it to a batch of Swiss meringue buttercream and it was lemony silk 🤤 Your recipes are sheer perfection. Thank you for sharing them with us!🙏🏼♥️♥️♥️
I tried the lemon curd today, omg the recipe came out perfectly smooth. I made it so I can use it on a cheesecake I made. I did sample the lemon curd and it was like velvet waves dancing in my mouth. A perfect balance between tangy and sweetness. I can see topping off a nice vanilla ice cream or a simple butter pound cake or a scone. YUM!, You rock
@@hsf8908 You can use it just the same as you would use jam. Try it on sandwichs or toast. It is also amazing on vanilla ice cream for a real summer treat
Hi! Wanted to let you know I made this recipe as an amateur baker and it turned out amazing. I made it as a very special part of my grandpa's 70th birthday cake. :) I made a vanilla cake with this curd in the middle. It was so yummy! My grandpa isn't easy to impress, but he LOVED it. Thank you for this recipe!
Lemon, lemon and more lemon, can't go wrong, it's my absolute favorite!..growing up my mom would quite often pour lemon over a freshly baked white cake. It was a very simple dessert but it was the best, next to lemon meringue pie of course.
I made this today, I only added half of the butter and it still taste amazing. This is the first lemon curd recipe that did not scrambled my eggs. Awesome recipe!
I am so excited for this recipe John. So far, everything I've made from your recipes has been a hit. I made the fish tacos last week and 3 out of my 5 kids on the autism spectrum loved them. (That's a MAJOR compliment from the pickiest eaters on the planet btw 😉) They all love lemons, so this will be another great one to try. Thanks John!!
I made this using 3/4 cup of a sugar alternative and it came out so well! Very smooth and sweetly tart. Next time I might reduce the sweetener next time because it was a little sweeter than what I would prefer, but it might have been too tart for a lot of people.
Wow just made this. So delicious! I made a quadruple recipe so I can gift some and freeze a lot to use later. Took about 30 minutes of whisking. I turned the heat up to medium after about 15 minutes and it was perfectly fine as long as I kept whisking. So good!
Me: I don't want to gain the quarantine fifteen. John: Make lemon cupcakes. Me: oh, no! I ate all the lemon cupcakes by myself! Now, what do I do? John: Make lemon curd.
Thank you for this recipe! Lemon curd brings forth dear memories of my departed mom; an English lady and survivour of two world wars. Mom was not a *star* in the kitchen, bringing to mind much of Britain's notorious cooking of yesteryear! But she excelled in a few things, one of which was her homemade lemon curd. I still recall memories of the taste of her curd. It was excellent. Us kids would rejoice in her allowing us to put it on toast and buttered bread. In fact, I still have the original index card of her recipe, although I've only made it once. Maybe going to make this for xmas presents for my neighbours this year! Thanks again!
My favorite use of lemon curd if for a type of French lemon tart (for which I can't find the recipe). It is a classic French tart crust with almond, then a layer of lemon curd, followed by an overlapped layer of paper-thin whole lemon slices - peel, pith and all (seeds removed). This gets briefly baked before getting topped with a mountainous meringue and baked again. It is absolutely heavenly.
I made this curd using Meyer lemons. It is truly sunshine in a jar; a beautiful yellow colour, tangy, bright lemon flavour and so silky smooth! Thanks John, your instructions made it easy easy to make! Next time it might last long enough for a tart! 😉
Thank you! My Welsh mother in law always made pots of it for my husband but refused to give me the recipe. When she died I found her recipe book and absconded with it. In it was the priceless lemon curd recipe my husband loved. First time made was a huge expensive disaster so will try again with your method. Many thanks !
I just made this but halved the recipe to save on eggs until I can get more. However, I did end up using an extra yolk so 4 yolks in total with the rest of the ingredients halved. It turned out great and I'm so proud. Now I can make these delicious blueberry lemon curd crepes at home instead of paying $10 for one at my favorite crepe shop!
Just here to say this is the lemon curd of the 3 recipes that I've tried that set so well I could hold the jar upside down and it didn't budge, no cornstarch added or needed (saw a recipe that said to add cornstarch if you want it to set better but I didn't add any in this one). And really well explained too :D
ok, i know this video is more than 1 year old, but i literally just got done making this recipe and it is AMAZING! I made half the recipe because I was super discouraged yesterday when I tried making lemon curd following a different recipe and the result was so bad, the texture was right, but the taste was extremely eggy and metallic. But today I followed John's recipe and it turned out absolutely gorgeous! I am going to use it to fill up my homemade donuts tomorrow! It is going to be fantastic! Thank you, John for this amazing recipe!
I've been enjoying this recipe for a few years & just now watched the video. I use it to spread on cheesecake, put a bead of it on blueberry coffeecake batter in the tube pan for a nice surprise center, and it's delicious in a cup of plain Greek yogurt. Your lemon cookies were a big hit with my sister on her birthday! If you've never tried Sicilian whole lemon cake, I recommend looking up a recipe. As you may have noticed, we love lemons over here, too! Thank you for your recipes & expertise!
That’s the beautiful thing about all citrus. The fruit ripens up in the colder months and it is like nature has trapped all the lovely sunshine from summer in the fruit. Love it. Thanks for this recipe 👍
My mom used to make the best lemon curd and yes, she did use a double boiler. We used to fold whipped cream into lemon curd and fill krumkake with it. I know that krumkake isn’t traditionally filled, but no one ever said Mom was a conventional Norwegian.
Just made this recipe. Watched the video a couple times before I started and then cooked along with the video. Turned out PERFECT. Used Meyer lemons (from my tree). I also used unsalted butter so added a pinch of salt. So so good.
Just finished making this to use in a Limoncello Tiramisu. The lemon curd was easy to make and is so delicious. Next time I'll use a little bit less sugar but that's just to suit my taste. The straining took a little bit of time but was well worth it. The end result is so smooth. Thanks so much for the recipe!
John is totally the life of the party wherever he goes. I could have the worst day ever and his bubbly personality and lightheartedness always brings a smile and a giggle to me. A tutorial/lecture means nothing if the instructor doesn’t have a great personality! Thank you for genuinely being you!
This brings back memories from my mom. When we were kids she would make this often and we would spread it on toast for breakfast. YUM. I now have to make some. Thank you John
This is amazing. I was today years old when I discovered home made lemon curd. Thank you for a non double boiler recipe. This worked perfectly in my non stick pot. :)
Hi! Wanted to let u know I made this recipe as an amateur baker and it turned out amazing. In our home, we are not actually a fan of lemon i mean we dont use lemon in food or any thing. I only used lemon in water and used lemon in baking like lemon cake i used only but not any other cakes or anything. But Today i made this recipe and it was amazing. My mother liked it too and everyone👌❤️. Lots of love from Pakistan❤
I found Amalfi lemons in a local italian store, and it came out amazing, I did not strain it because I like the lemon peel to keep infusing the curd over time.
You can soak your cold lemons in hot water for a couple of minutes then roll them on the counter back and forth. This will loosen up a lot of juice inside de lemons, yummm.
This lemon curd was super easy to make and absolutely delicious, especially when paired with his lemon cheesecake recipe. It was the perfect mix of sweet and tart.
I was literally searching a lemon curd recipe on your channel two days ago, because I thought you already uploaded one. So glad you actually have one now! can't wait to make it
I just made this recipe for my mom’s birthday cake and omg it is delicious!! I added a little bit more lemon zest because i didn’t want to leave one lemon by itself and made lemonade with the extra juice LOL but so yummy!! 100% recommend! definitely agree to strain at the end for a smooth & silky texture!! Thank you for the recipe!
John my mom is from Jamaica and she's been baking since forever. However she now has her M.B.A degree is baking&pastry. Your mom is the same as mine with the straining of the yolks because, my mother also does this due to it having a thing she calls the eye of the yolk. That white mushy substance that clings to the yolk. It makes the cake smell raw is what she says 🤣 not sure if that's an old wives cooking tale but yeah 😅. THANKS FOR SHARING YOURSELF AND YOUR MOM WITH US!!!!!!! PREPPY IS LIFE!!!¡!
Hi John, I followed your recipe step by step and my Lemon Curd came out just beautiful and the taste is so amazing. You are so right, fresh and homemade is always the best. I am actually using it as a filling for my 4 layer lemon cake toped with buttercream icing....... Thank you so much.
I've made many different recipes of lemon curd and am surprised how different they are. It seems a basic recipe but I've never been 100% happy until I made this one!!! It's my go-to now and I'll never try another. This is so so so delicious! John, I am very curious if this is a family recipe or did you adjust others until you were happy. Either way, this is PERFECT. Thank you sooooooooooo much! Nancy in SW Washington
4 years latter I used your recipe to make a clementine curd. Now, I didn't use my brain, so I used the same amount of sugar. It's obviously a little but too sweat but it's delicious ! Thank you for teaching me how to do it.
Can confirm that this recipe is fantastic! It was my first time ever making lemon curd and WOW, so delicious! I've made a few of John's recipes and they always turn out great :)
When I went to Greece in 2013 my son and daughter-in-law got married there....we had lemon at every meal everywhere we went...they squeeze it on their food before eating... yummy! 🍋 🇬🇷
I am Greek and yeah, 90% of the times there will be lemons on the table, but I've never heard of them being there for good luck, or that they should be 9. I did google it though and 9 lemons for good luck is a thing, but it's a feng shui thing, not Greek. I hope you're doing well, stay healthy and positive!
hi! i am 10 years old and an aspiring baker! i love your lemon curd recipe and made it to match with a cheesecake that i baked. it is for my moms birthday and cheesecake is her favorite desert. the lemon curd was so good but i did overcook it a little bit. luckily it didn’t scramble up though. thank you for the tasty recipe.
Wow, I am drooling! Is this the same lemon curd that the Brits use on scones? It sells for ridiculously high amounts online, but it is so easy to make! Just add some homemade clotted cream, scones, and some fragrant tea, and we are ready for a bit of Heaven's glory on earth!
You can eat it how you want. If its too sour I recommend breaking up sugar cookies and then top them off with the curd. Or you can eat it plain. Or make cakes. Or anything really. Swiss rolls. Etc.
I juuust made this jar of sunshine. Thank you so much for this easy recipe with such good presentation. I’d been apprehensive to try lemon curd after a few disasters a couple of years ago. Watched this video for 2weeks and finally mustered the courage to try it and baaam! I love it. Omg sooo good. Thank you so much
Sir, thank you very much for this recipe. I made it a lot of times but this recipe is one of the best ever! I use lemon and orange curd or sometimes combo of these two (even tangerine curd) literally in everything. In home made ice cream or I just add a bit with regular vanilla ice cream, filling or toppings for the cakes/cheesecakes, filling for pancakes (crepes). Sometimes I put it between the layers of cake as a spread, then I add some other cream/frosting on it. Since I don't like classic USA/UK big cakes with lot of fat layers of "sponge" and very thin layer of frosting between, this curd is heaven for lighter versions with more creamy layer cakes. And since I don't mind the zest in it and less silky texture, in the end I usually add a bit more of it. I have my own lemons, oranges and mandarins so I just love to put extra zest. 😉
"Sunshine in a jar", you are sunshine in a person John. Thank you.😊

Hi Joe, just be careful with the sugar intake for your wife. Cancer cells thrive on it. Best to both of you. Hope she's better now.

That’s the beautiful thing about all citrus. The fruit ripens up in the colder months and it is like nature has trapped all the lovely sunshine from summer in the fruit. Love it.
Thanks for this recipe 👍
I just made this. It is DELICIOUS and so smooth! My sister loves it. Thank you, John! 🙏🏾😭
“Did someone ask for a drop of sunshine in a jar?”
I did!!
My mom used to make the best lemon curd and yes, she did use a double boiler. We used to fold whipped cream into lemon curd and fill krumkake with it. I know that krumkake isn’t traditionally filled, but no one ever said Mom was a conventional Norwegian.
I made this and I'm in LOVE. I used it in between layers of a yellow cake. I made lemon butter cream frosting.OMGOSH!
Me: *watches intensely
John: 'Thank you Chicken '
Me: whispers 'thank you chicken'
😂💕✨🐔
My fav part 🥰

Lemon curd on toast, delicious . Especially my Nan's lemon curd.
I am using this recipe since a while to make strawberry and blueberry curd as well. It's amazing.
Just made this recipe. Watched the video a couple
times before I started and then cooked along with the video. Turned out PERFECT. Used Meyer lemons (from my tree). I also used unsalted butter so added a pinch of salt. So so good.
Just finished making this to use in a Limoncello Tiramisu. The lemon curd was easy to make and is so delicious. Next time I'll use a little bit less sugar but that's just to suit my taste. The straining took a little bit of time but was well worth it. The end result is so smooth. Thanks so much for the recipe!

Not a single soul:
John: What time is it? Wizz wizz wizz.
He's such an adorable dork.
Also him: we're gonna whiskwhiskwhiskwhiskwhisk.
Haha I love both of these sayings from him
Wasnt this dude a school teacher or something? I guess its the animated teacher that comes out 😂
whisk :)
He strikes me as being very...off some how.
You're so cheerful, thank you for the positivity, I wish you happiness in your life ❤
John is totally the life of the party wherever he goes. I could have the worst day ever and his bubbly personality and lightheartedness always brings a smile and a giggle to me. A tutorial/lecture means nothing if the instructor doesn’t have a great personality! Thank you for genuinely being you!
I tried it with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of erythritol and it was great! Thanks for the video!
This brings back memories from my mom. When we were kids she would make this often and we would spread it on toast for breakfast. YUM. I now have to make some. Thank you John
I wish we had more positive good mood folks in this world like John!
I made it to use as a cake filling. It turned out amazing! Thanks for the tip of straining it. It made a big difference.
so did you just spoon it between the batter in the middle and then baked the cake with the curd in the middle?
I made 2 layers and put curd between them.
This is amazing. I was today years old when I discovered home made lemon curd. Thank you for a non double boiler recipe. This worked perfectly in my non stick pot. :)
Hi! Wanted to let u know I made this recipe as an amateur baker and it turned out amazing. In our home, we are not actually a fan of lemon i mean we dont use lemon in food or any thing. I only used lemon in water and used lemon in baking like lemon cake i used only but not any other cakes or anything. But Today i made this recipe and it was amazing. My mother liked it too and everyone👌❤️. Lots of love from Pakistan❤
I found Amalfi lemons in a local italian store, and it came out amazing, I did not strain it because I like the lemon peel to keep infusing the curd over time.
My thoughts, too.
You are not only a great cook, you are a pleasure to watch. All of your recipes are wonderful. Thank you and keep''em coming!
When he said ‘jar of sunshine and thank you chicken ‘ I subscribed hahah such a happy and positive personality!
When life gives John lemons he makes lemon curd
And cookies...and cupcakes...
Lol yah

You can soak your cold lemons in hot water for a couple of minutes then roll them on the counter back and forth. This will loosen up a lot of juice inside de lemons, yummm.
So tasty! Thank u so much!!!!
Самое сложное это натереть цедру и смешать её с сахаром вручную без комбайна. Остальное очень легко! Всем советую!
This lemon curd was super easy to make and absolutely delicious, especially when paired with his lemon cheesecake recipe. It was the perfect mix of sweet and tart.
I was literally searching a lemon curd recipe on your channel two days ago, because I thought you already uploaded one. So glad you actually have one now! can't wait to make it
Did you make it
I just made this recipe for my mom’s birthday cake and omg it is delicious!! I added a little bit more lemon zest because i didn’t want to leave one lemon by itself and made lemonade with the extra juice LOL but so yummy!! 100% recommend! definitely agree to strain at the end for a smooth & silky texture!! Thank you for the recipe!
John my mom is from Jamaica and she's been baking since forever. However she now has her M.B.A degree is baking&pastry. Your mom is the same as mine with the straining of the yolks because, my mother also does this due to it having a thing she calls the eye of the yolk. That white mushy substance that clings to the yolk. It makes the cake smell raw is what she says 🤣 not sure if that's an old wives cooking tale but yeah 😅. THANKS FOR SHARING YOURSELF AND YOUR MOM WITH US!!!!!!! PREPPY IS LIFE!!!¡!
My first time making lemon curd with this recipe and it came out delicious. Don't think I'll ever use another recipe!
Hi John, I followed your recipe step by step and my Lemon Curd came out just beautiful and the taste is so amazing. You are so right, fresh and homemade is always the best. I am actually using it as a filling for my 4 layer lemon cake toped with buttercream icing....... Thank you so much.
He’s adorable! I love his recipes!
I've made many different recipes of lemon curd and am surprised how different they are. It seems a basic recipe but I've never been 100% happy until I made this one!!! It's my go-to now and I'll never try another. This is so so so delicious! John, I am very curious if this is a family recipe or did you adjust others until you were happy. Either way, this is PERFECT. Thank you sooooooooooo much! Nancy in SW Washington
4 years latter I used your recipe to make a clementine curd. Now, I didn't use my brain, so I used the same amount of sugar. It's obviously a little but too sweat but it's delicious ! Thank you for teaching me how to do it.
Absolutely agree if it doesn't have vanilla it's got lemon or Orange! Thanks for sharing this recipe it's wonderful!
Just watched this today and i actually made it and it was sooo good. Thank you so much
OMG …I made this today…it was so easy and so delicious! this recipe is a keeper! thanks John!
Can confirm that this recipe is fantastic! It was my first time ever making lemon curd and WOW, so delicious! I've made a few of John's recipes and they always turn out great :)
I put the lemons in hot water before juicing and you get more juice❤ from Australia
Thanks!
Lemon curd?!?! Um...YUM!!!! Sunshine in a jar? That has to be the best description of the yummiest - craziest thing ever to eat! Can I adopt you?
I thought of a fun pun for this one, but it just *a curd* to me that it might SOUR the audience! 😋
Loved it. It was punny!!😋😂
🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋
Good one 😂😂😂😂
Omg I’ve had a therapy that like everyone that watches his videos is wholesome, this comment just proved it 😂😂😂
That was a good one hhahahaha
I heard it’s tradition in Greek homes, the dining table should have a bowl of lemons for good luck. And it must be 9 lemons.
When I went to Greece in 2013 my son and daughter-in-law got married there....we had lemon at every meal everywhere we went...they squeeze it on their food before eating... yummy! 🍋 🇬🇷
I am Greek and yeah, 90% of the times there will be lemons on the table, but I've never heard of them being there for good luck, or that they should be 9. I did google it though and 9 lemons for good luck is a thing, but it's a feng shui thing, not Greek.
I hope you're doing well, stay healthy and positive!
Not really good luck. We just like the taste.
Feng shui thing has nothing to do with lemons 😂😂😂
@@barblee9615 Ok, I said that based on a 2 minute google search, feng shui comes up when you type 9 lemons good luck, but, I don't know.
I just made this and follow your steps. It was slightly more work but truly amazing thanks Ann
I’ve been making orange curd. Fantastic!!
I just absolutely adore how he explains things “you just whiz whiz whiz” John, you are the best 😂💛
I smiled looking at the comment
You are the best YT Chef 👨🍳
Hi John, Thanks for another great recipe. Almost everyday I enjoy lemon curd, plain Greek yogurt and fresh or frozen raspberries for breakfast.
any nice girls here? give me your numbers.
hi! i am 10 years old and an aspiring baker! i love your lemon curd recipe and made it to match with a cheesecake that i baked. it is for my moms birthday and cheesecake is her favorite desert. the lemon curd was so good but i did overcook it a little bit. luckily it didn’t scramble up though. thank you for the tasty recipe.
Wow, I am drooling! Is this the same lemon curd that the Brits use on scones? It sells for ridiculously high amounts online, but it is so easy to make! Just add some homemade clotted cream, scones, and some fragrant tea, and we are ready for a bit of Heaven's glory on earth!
Just made this, my first lemon curd. Turned out great, thank you😌💕
I just used this recipe for my first wedding cake and it turned out absolutely perfect ❤️ thank you
How do I eat it? I mean I never heared of lemon curd before how do I use it like is it like jam can you eat it plain sorry for my stupid question
You can eat it how you want. If its too sour I recommend breaking up sugar cookies and then top them off with the curd. Or you can eat it plain. Or make cakes. Or anything really. Swiss rolls. Etc.
@@hsf8908 Commonly used as a spread on buttered toast. Very nice.
Your ‘Sunshine in a jar’ is amazing! I had it with soufflé pancake. It’s so light and refreshing. Thank you so much, John.
I juuust made this jar of sunshine. Thank you so much for this easy recipe with such good presentation. I’d been apprehensive to try lemon curd after a few disasters a couple of years ago. Watched this video for 2weeks and finally mustered the courage to try it and baaam! I love it. Omg sooo good. Thank you so much
Sir, thank you very much for this recipe. I made it a lot of times but this recipe is one of the best ever! I use lemon and orange curd or sometimes combo of these two (even tangerine curd) literally in everything. In home made ice cream or I just add a bit with regular vanilla ice cream, filling or toppings for the cakes/cheesecakes, filling for pancakes (crepes). Sometimes I put it between the layers of cake as a spread, then I add some other cream/frosting on it. Since I don't like classic USA/UK big cakes with lot of fat layers of "sponge" and very thin layer of frosting between, this curd is heaven for lighter versions with more creamy layer cakes. And since I don't mind the zest in it and less silky texture, in the end I usually add a bit more of it. I have my own lemons, oranges and mandarins so I just love to put extra zest. 😉
