My Granny’s Quick Lemon Curd Recipe is the easiest curd you’ll ever find. With only 4 ingredients, it cooks on the stove in just 5 minutes! Bursting with intense lemon flavour, this classic British creamy spread will transport you to lemon heaven!

What is Lemon Curd?

Lemon curd is a tangy, smooth spread made from lemon juice, sugar, eggs, and butter. It has a rich, creamy texture and a vibrant citrus flavour. 

Lemon curd is commonly used like jam as a filling for tarts, pies, cakes, and pastries, or as a spread on scones, toast, or pancakes. 

It’s also a versatile and delicious addition to various desserts and baked goods.

Homemade lemon curd tastes infinitely better than shop-bought!

The History of Granny’s Quick Lemon Curd

My grandma’s lemon curd recipe sat in my recipe box for at least a few decades before I came across it one day!

My sister had written down the ingredients along with some brief instructions at some point during a childhood visit to my grandparents. 

I knew it was my gran’s recipe as the words “add zest” were also on the card in her handwriting.

The instructions were scant so I set about experimenting and putting some fine detail into the lemon curd recipe. 

The first time I made it I was transported straight back to my granny’s house as she always had a jar of homemade lemon curd in her fridge.

What Makes This the Best Way to Make Lemon Curd?

All the recipes I’ve seen take ages to make and use unnecessary equipment or ingredients.

Granny’s Quick Lemon Curd doesn’t use a double boiler, there’s no sieving required nor endless stirring. 

There’s no unnecessary cornstarch in this curd! We’re not making lemon custard!

This simple recipe uses just 4 ingredients and takes less than 5 minutes to cook. There’s less washing up and it works every time. 

I see people warning against the direct heat method and ending up with scrambled eggs. This recipe has never let me down once!

I’ve also seen recipes calling for plastic wrap to prevent the surface of the curd from forming a crust.

Again, this is unnecessary with my Granny’s method as you never get a crust.

As this recipe uses whole eggs there’s no waste as no leftover egg yolks or whites.

Hence this isn’t just good lemon curd this is the Best Lemon Curd Recipe in the world as it ticks all the boxes! 

Just look at the comments from happy readers below who agree!

How Do You Stop Lemon Curd from Curdling?

My Granny’s Quick Lemon Curd has never curdled.

If you follow the instructions, keep the boil on medium heat, and whisk constantly you’ll succeed.

I’ve never needed to use a sieve.

How Do You Avoid Stringy Bits in Fruit Curd

The secret is to beat the eggs well so you don’t get any stringy bits in your lemon curd.

How Do You Know When the Lemon Curd is Ready?

After boiling and whisking for 1 minute the lemon curd should coat the back of a spoon. If your pan wasn’t quite boiling as you were whisking boil for a little longer. 

Remember the curd will thicken further on cooling.

How Long Does Lemon Curd Last and How Should You Store It?

It is best made in small batches as per this recipe as it will only keep for 2 – 3 weeks and should be stored in the fridge. But I seriously doubt it will last that long before being eaten!

How to Make Granny’s Quick Lemon Curd?

Ingredients

You need 4 simple ingredients:

  • Sugar – I use caster sugar as it’s finer and melts quicker but if you don’t have any you can use granulated sugar.
  • Cold butter – I use unsalted butter but have noticed other recipes use salted, so again if you only have that then I’m sure that would be fine.
  • Whole Eggs – my granny didn’t stipulate a size and I’ve made it with both medium and large eggs so I haven’t specified a size. Use what you have. The yolks help with the colour and consistency of the curd. Someone asked me recently if you could use just egg whites to which the answer is no!
  • Fresh lemons – try to use unwaxed lemons. If you don’t have any, wash the wax off as you need the fresh lemon zest and juice. Do not use bottled lemon juice which is full of preservatives.

Equipment

  • Small bowl
  • Zester grater
  • Lemon squeezer
  • Wooden spoon
  • Silicone whisk
  • Small non-stick saucepan (won’t taint lemon flavour like stainless steel pan can)
  • 1 – 2 Mason Jars with lids

Step-by-Step Instructions

This lemon curd is so easy. Just follow these simple steps for perfectly tangy curd with no lumps.

How Do You Eat Lemon Curd?

It is delicious spread on scones, sourdough bread, croissants, English muffins, Scotch pancakes, waffles, etc.

Alternatively, you can use it as an ingredient in cakes, cupcakes, American muffins, cookies, tarts, cheesecakes, lemon meringue pie, sponge puddings, etc.

It’s also the perfect addition to yogurt and ice cream!

Notes

Before you start, sterilise jars by washing in hot soapy water (or take straight from dishwasher). Fill with boiling water, empty and then place in oven for 20 minutes at 140°C where you leave them until the curd is ready. Washed metal lids should be sterilised with boiling water and then left to drain (if still wet place in oven once you’ve turned the heat off and run with just the fan for a few minutes to dry off).

    Excellent Lemon Curd. It is the consistency of thick pudding and be poured over desserts. Can I get it to be thicker so it won’t run off my cheesecake at Easter? Thanks!

      Thank you Olwyn, it sounds like you didn’t boil it for long enough if you can pour it. Just give it longer and until it coats the back of a wooden spoon. Your lemon may be bigger than the one I used.

    Hi Camilla,
    I made this curd and it tastes amazing, but I (accidentally!) added in the egg with all the ingredients at the start. It ended up a bit lumpy, so I’m guessing that when you add the egg really makes a difference…

    • Camilla

      10/07/2024 at 9:49 am

      Hi Zoe, yes you would have been cooking the egg whilst melting the butter which is why it’s added quickly at the end. But this is how we learn, mistakes are never wasted experiences:-)

    Delicious! We are camping in the south of Spain for a month, and I have been given a bag of lovely lemons just off the tree! Used some (lots) fresh in g&t, froze lots in half slices for cold drinks – then found your recipe! 4 jars bought at the local hardware, eyeballed sugar & butter – job done. Air fryer scones, home-made meringues & ice cream, life is good.

    This is a great, and very forgiving, recipe. I have made quite a few batches and the size of the lemons may vary, ditto the eggs. I don’t weigh the caster sugar, I reckon 150gms is about 10 flattish tablespoons, but sometimes I use a bit less. I cut the butter by eye, and rough calculation, from a new packet.

    My worst mistake was accidentally boiling it for about 5 minutes instead of just one; quite a bit more solid than usual, but still scrumptious.

    It is the METHOD that makes this an absolute winner. Thank you.

    Oh and, I have kept a forgotten, (hidden), jar in the fridge for about 3 months – still delish.

I have small lemons I’m in UK & I’m trying to do lemon & lime curd & I’ve 350ml of juice so I’ve double & half increased the recipe, no idea if it’s going to work 🙂 as I’m typing I an see my saucepan is too small lol. Hay no. Nothing ventured nothing gained. But yes, my 2 lemons will make a lot less juice than your two. So a weight be handy. Your gran had a fab recipe. Thanks

      Hi Nicola, I’m also in the UK so the lemons I use would be roughly the same as yours, my granny didn’t measure, there’s not need and if people in say the US use slightly bigger lemons then a little longer boil to evaporate the excess moisture would be all that was needed.

        Oh I don’t know what I did. The passion fruit hasn’t set & both of them are almost powdery on the tongue. My own fault for guess work. I’ve no more lemon or limes lol. They taste great just powdery, grainey. I’m going to retry the passion fruit in a minute will look at the blackberry as a guide, I’m using shop bought puree, might use bottled lemon & lime juice & have another go as that’s all I have 🙂 but will stick to the smaller mix. This time. Thanks! I’d still appreciate it if you would take the time at some point to weigh your lemon juice? Though I’m glad you’re in UK too. But I’ve had 3 different sizes of Lemons this week shopping & I’m just confused. Again great recipe I’m just biting off more than I can chew 🙂

          In your last comment you mentioned 350 ml of juice which would be far too much, how many lemons did you squeeze to get that amount? I have just been to my fridge and squeezed a good sized lemon, the size that is often sold individually as also had some cheap tiny ones. The juice yielded from one lemon was a little over 2 tablespoons so roughly 33 mls. Personally I would use bottled lemon juice. I can only put down the powdery texture coming from cooking the curd for too long and the egg white not liking that. Small quantity as per the recipe works best.

      I eyeball the lemons as agree in U.K. usually unwaxed are bit small. I use 4 small or 2 larger plus one small. Handy tip is put the lemons in a microwave for 30 seconds and roll on worktop you definitely get more juice from them and cut lengthwise not across.

      I’ve never made lemon curd tarts but I’m sure this recipe would be fine for them as the curd will get denser not runnier once baked due to dehydration.

    Hi, Camilla!
    I discovered your website earlier this year when I first tried making jam (your grape jam recipe is wonderful, by the way!). I am interested in trying your curd. How long do you think it keeps after being made? The instructions don’t say to refrigerate, so does that mean it’s shelf stable after potting up?

      Hi Debra, it’s not my field of expertise but I see on the web that you can indeed can Lemon Curd so there’s no reason why my recipe couldn’t be converted. Just Google a recipe for canned lemon curd and follow the canning instructions.

    Hi, this looks great. But I still cook in ounces and cups. How much would the butter and sugar be “in translation” Thanks so much.

      Hi Shirley, I don’t usually do cup conversions as they’re not accurate but as it’s just the sugar I Googled and it said it was 1 Cup and the butter is near on 2 ounces. I hope that helps. I would however really recommend you buy a cheap set of digital scales as they will make all you preserve making much more accurate. I have some fantastic jam recipes that you could use them on:-)

    I don’t know about this but in pudding it calls to add the eggs last, I don’t do that though, I put them in the liquid and blend them thoroughly and I’ve never again accidentally had scrambled eggs in my pudding. It also was super creamy because I’d let it mix for a few minutes before cooking

So happy now, it only takes 10 minutes and turns out beautifully. I did use considerably less sugar though.

      Hi Simone, I’ve never had Clover which is a margarine and not butter and I’ve never used margarine to make lemon curd. So I would say you can try using it but it won’t be as good as using actual butter and I don’t know what effect it will have on the consistency. Do let me know how you get on if you make it with Clover.

    I have a recipe similar in quantity to this but cooked in the microwave in a glass bowl, thirty second bursts, stirred not whisked. That should solve the green curd issue of one of your correspondents. Green curd is caused by the reaction of lemon acid to copper or aluminium. I also strain the eggs through a fine sieve before adding them so no stringy bits.

      I have never used salted butter so can’t say what that would be like. You might get away with a slightly salted butter like Lurpak but I wouldn’t use something like Anchor as that level of salt would be overpowering. Ideally you use unsalted butter for the best flavour.

Digital scales are so cheap and such a wise investment for making accurate recipes, especially when it comes to preserves. But I am actually confused when you say the quantities aren’t in the recipe?

      Hmm Jeanne, that’s very odd, it’s always yellow for me and when people share their pics it’s yellow. I wonder if there’s some sort of chemical reaction going on with your pan that’s making it go green? I use a non-stick pan. So perhaps you could try a different sort of pan to the one you usually use.

    Super easy recipe, however when I added the eggs some small pieces immediately turned into scrambled eggs that I needed to fish out from the mixture. I think adding the eggs on a very low heat instead of medium would work better. Either way, it’s still very tasty. More of a sugary and tart lemon curd than buttery

      Hi Marion, is the pan bubbling. Just keep whisking until the mixture will coat the back of a spoon. It shouldn’t take much more than a minute and don’t expect a thick mixture but you will notice a change in the consistency for sure. It will thicken more on cooling.

My lemon cupcakes are always the first to disappear! The internet is a minefield and I want to substitute the lemons for orange, how many oranges should I use, there are so many different versions but I want to use your recipe, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    • Camilla

      10/02/2019 at 12:49 pm

      Hi Helen, I can’t really answer that because the same volume of juice from oranges isn’t going to give you the depth of flavour that the lemons give this recipe. This is something I would need to work on and develop. I would also be inclined to have some lemon juice in there to beef up the flavour of the orange.

      Reply
      • Helen

        10/02/2019 at 7:55 pm

        I’ve made some orange curd. Using your recipe as a base and looking at about 20 different others on the web. It’s just slightly on the sweet side (but that may just me being picky, as I’ve had what couldn’t fit in the jar on some bread and rather enjoyed it!!) so some tweaking will be required next time I make it. Thank you, your recipes are great! this week I’m going to make your Italian Chicken as it looks scrummy.

      I wouldn’t want to advise keeping the curd at room temperature but it wouldn’t hurt to keep it in a garage or shed for a couple of days before giving. You’d need to tell recipient to put it in their fridge and eat within a couple of weeks or so though.

        The results of my blackberry experiment were interesting – not quite what I had been expecting.

        The first flavour that hits your taste buds is custard, followed then by the blackberry, but unfortunately not as strong as I was hoping for. It needs something to either strengthen or at least complement the flavour. I did add the juice half a lemon to the blackberry juice, and I’m glad that I did. Without it, I think that maybe it would have been too bland.

        All that said, it is quite pleasant, and will definitely get eaten.

          People make something calle “Fruit Cheese” so maybe blackberries are better suited to something like that. It’s not an area I’ve looked into yet!

    I made another batch (double quantities) of this yesterday. Delicious! If possible, even better then the first batch. That might be because I used more lemon juice. The lemons I was using were very small, so I used nearly twice as many as the recipe said. I was aiming for 250ml of juice for my double batch, but ended up with a little more. I was worried it would be too runny, but its just ok and tastes sooooo nice!

    What a find!! – I adore lemon curd and sounds easier than making custard. How about caramelizing the zest before adding all the juice and butter etc. ? Would it work..mmmm maybe a pot of each if I get a chance

    My mum used to make lemon curd quite often when I was a child. I loved the smell in the kitchen and you are absolutely right that the texture and taste of homemade lemon curd is light years away from the bought versions.

      Sorry I put 175mls of lemon curd in the jar so that’s what I called it. It’s just a standard size and will fit 200mls so I see this is a size that is sold everywhere. One of my jars was recycled from some chutney I bought on sale and the other is a Kilner my mother in law bought me.

    Just made this but substituted oranges instead. I added an extra egg as I figured I had much more juice from the oranges. Tastes scrummy, thank you!

    Thinking about also trying orange and passionfruit as I have 3 passionfruit lurking in the bottom of the fridge, will let you know!

    One (large) jar of lemon curd now cooling. At the point of going into the jar, it tastes absolutely delicious!!!

    I have a couple of questions, if you don’t mind:

    1. In step 3, you say “Whisk for another minute (the mixture will thicken.”
    Should it be on or off the heat for this whisking?

    2. I’m too impatient to wait to discover this answer for myself: does it thicken up any more in the jar as it cools?
    I’m guessing that it does because the little bit left over does seem to have got a little thicker in the 10 minutes it’s been standing. It won’t be there much longer though because I can’t resist it x

    Right. In a moment I am going to try making Lime Curd by the same method. If it tastes half as good as the lemon it is a real winner 🙂

      I whisked mine over the heat but as long as it has reached boiling point that’s the main thing and yes it does thicken further on cooling:-) We ate some of ours before it had set but after storing in the fridge it does firm up.

      So glad you’re enjoying this recipe:-)

    I could seriously eat this curd right out the jar, Camilla. I’ve made lemon curd once and it’s so luscious… And as the butter thickens the curd, it’s almost impossible not to start eating right from the pan… Forget the store-bought bottled stuff – give me this!

    As soon as I can get to the shops for some butter, I’m on to it! My mouth is watering at the thought!
    I might experiment though – I have a lot of lemons in the freezer (along with Seville oranges and limes, all bough while cheap, for making marmalade), so I might try using some of those. The difficult bit might be grating off the zest, but if I do it while the lemons are still half-frozen, it might be ok. I’ll see how it goes.

    Come to think of it, if it works with the lemons, I might go on to try some lime curd too.

    I’ll keep you posted 🙂

    Right. I’ve just got the littlies off to sleep so now I’m going to make some red- and blackcurrant cordial while they are asleep. I have a freezer full of last year’s berries that need using now before this years are ready. Waste not want not!

      I’ve never tried freezing a citrus fruit but do grate frozen ginger straight from the freezer so imagine it would work really well with zest too! Do let me know how you get on as I’d like to know if frozen is the way to go:-)

        I’ve frozen citrus fruits for the first time this year.
        I wanted to make marmalade for the first time in years and noticed when searching for recipes that a lot of people were using frozen fruit. Seville oranges, limes and lemons were only £1 for a big bowlful on the market back in Feb/March, so I bought lots for the freezer. I made a batch of orange marmalade with fresh oranges, but have since made a lemon and lime marmalade with frozen fruits and that worked perfectly. I’ll soon be doing more orange, this time with the frozen Sevilles, so it will be interesting to see if there is a noticeable difference in flavour.
