Lemon Curd 

"Sunshine in a jar", you are sunshine in a person John. Thank you.😊

Can I just say I appreciate the overwhelmingly positive nature of this comment section? Y’all are a much needed breath of fresh air.

Don’t mind me just commenting to not have to watch the whole thing every time… Ingrédients : 200g sugar (1cup) 2-3 lemon zest 100ml lemon juice (1/2 cup) 6egg yolk 113g butter (1/2 cup) Recipe: -in a food processor mix the sugar and lemon zest. -press the lemons -in a pot wisk the yolks and sugar -add the lemon just and wisk. -on low heat wisk until it tickens. -remove from heat and add the cold butter. Mix well. -strain and let the curd cool down.

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! Discovered I had a knack for baking during Covid and finding this channel has really perpetuated my newfound hobby. Really easy to follow step-by-step instructions and awesome recipes! Please keep posting.

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.

Did somebody ask for sunshine in a jar,- that’s lemon curd Did somebody ask for sunshine in a bar,- that’s lemon bar Did somebody ask for sunshine in a person-That’s John ! Love your recipes

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!

"If a recipe doesn't have vanilla in it, it's gonna have lemon. That's how it works." Good rule to go by!

I think we all need your mother’s lemon cake recipe, John!

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!

Finally, someone who gives the quantities in grams also! Not the cups… thank you! Greetings from Europe.

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 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! 🙃

I just made this. It is DELICIOUS and so smooth! My sister loves it. Thank you, John! 🙏🏾😭

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!

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 :)

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.

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!

I cannot believe how much I have learned from your videos. ALWAYS easy to follow, well spoken and the recipes are just delicious. You are certainly a talented chef and we appreciate your fantastic videos. Thank you!

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!🙏🏼♥️♥️♥️

When he said "right Brian?" I replied back with "mhm??"😂😂😂

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.

God bless your hands. Wonderfully processed recipes. I’m 75 old grandma and keep learning from you.

This man is a blessing on this earth

Pleaseeeeee make the Lemon Roll cake!!!! Anyone else??? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

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!

used it as a filling layer in a lemon sponge cake, and mixed it with the whipped cream. it was a hit! thank you for yet another great 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!!

Me: *watches intensely John: 'Thank you Chicken ' Me: whispers 'thank you chicken'

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 can’t stop watching you. You’re the lemon sunshine. Absolutely addictive 😊

Your ‘Sunshine in a jar’ is amazing! I had it with soufflé pancake. It’s so light and refreshing. Thank you so much, John.

“Did someone ask for a drop of sunshine in a jar?” I did!!

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

You make me so happy! Im a nurse that loves to bake self taught…youtube taught… i love watching you

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.

When I was a child I used to butter my toast, generously, with lemon curd. Love lemon curd. 💕 🍋

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! 😉

I love how you just do a bit of natural humor in your videos, like 'thank you chicken' LOL awesome.

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!

This lemon curd was PERFECTION! I found myself sneaking some out of the fridge a few times a day until it was gone. Will make again for sure!

I am so impressed with this recipe! It's the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and so easy to make. I used it for lemon blueberry cobbler french toast. I also want to try it with a basic vanilla cake, maybe as a layer under the frosting on cupcakes? And with cheesecake as so many have suggested already

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

I love when you "soooo" "Its soooo beautiful." "Its soooo nice." "Soooo wonderful and cheerful." *You're so wonderful and cheerful* 💕😊

Your channel is literally my therapy session every other day when I find myself crying at random times

I wish we had more positive good mood folks in this world like John!

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 love watching you cook, your passion comes through and it feels like sunshine 😊🌞

No one: Not a single soul: John: What time is it? Wizz wizz wizz. He's such an adorable dork.

You're so cheerful, thank you for the positivity, I wish you happiness in your life ❤

I am using this recipe since a while to make strawberry and blueberry curd as well. It's amazing.

Lemon curd on toast, delicious . Especially my Nan's lemon curd.

I recently discovered this channel and I already get excited when he uploads! He is so cheery and happy😊 I love it!

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!

OMG …I made this today…it was so easy and so delicious! this recipe is a keeper! thanks John!

This man smiles while he is speaking, he is such a bright person i love that positivity it makes me want to eat and prepare everything he posts!!

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.

I am in love with your recipes and teaching style! Everything I try comes out perfect! Thank you sir!

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

He’s adorable! I love his recipes!

Just made this, my first lemon curd. Turned out great, thank you😌💕

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!

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.

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 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 just made this and it turned out INCREDIBLE. Thank you!! I can’t wait to put this in my lemon cake.

I love this guy. A ray of sunshine right there.

When life gives John lemons he makes lemon curd

Thank you for this recipe! 😊 Just made some the other day and replaced the lemons with some oranges from my garden and added some poppy seeds. It turned it great! Would love to try with lemons next time!

Made this today! It’s really delicious! Thank you for the simple but tasty recipe!

Butter makes EVERYTHING better. Lovely recipe and lemon curd great with scones and clotted cream instead of jam.

John, you’ve outdone yourself. I just made a batch, and it is FIRE 🔥 I’m going to use it to fill a vanilla cake with Swiss merengue buttercream for my friends birthday, using your recipes of course ♥️

I Made this recipe yesterday for the first time as a filling for my mini tarteletess and it was sooo good! Thank you 😊

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.

When he said ‘jar of sunshine and thank you chicken ‘ I subscribed hahah such a happy and positive personality!

Yum! I was just looking for a lemon curd recipe 💛💛

Using lemon curd for kolaches is the BEST. So good.

I just used this recipe to make lemon curd for the first time ever, and it turned out fantastic. Thank you so much for this awesome recipe.

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.

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.

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

I just finished making this lemon curd, right now it’s chilling in the fridge, this is the stuff of dreams i tell you! I made it ahead as a filling for your lemon cake recipe which will be served at a baby shower on the weekend. I can’t wait for all of it to come together 😅

I made my "sunshine in a jar" today and it made me so happy. Thank you for such an awesome channel and I can't wait for your cookbook 😀😀

I just used this recipe for my first wedding cake and it turned out absolutely perfect ❤️ thank you

I need to make lemon curd and just KNEW you would have a video on it! Your videos are SO helpful!!

Loved it! Just perfect! Thank you John for your recipes are wonderful. 💖

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

Just watched this today and i actually made it and it was sooo good. Thank you so much

I used to live in Germany and I treated my children to lemon roll cake every Friday as a treat. German bakeries are the best.

Idk if someone already said this or not, but please add this video to the lemon recipes playlist 😃 I absolutely adore your videos, thank you a lot for your recipes and for existing in general

Awesome thanks so much for sharing, I can’t wait to try this. ❤️

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

Absolutely agree if it doesn't have vanilla it's got lemon or Orange! Thanks for sharing this recipe it's wonderful!

I found your Lemon Curd recipe online, and was so glad to see you had a video of how to make it as well. My lemon curd turned out so good! I used is as a filling for a lemon cake. I love your videos and will try some more of your recipes. Thank you!

I just absolutely adore how he explains things “you just whiz whiz whiz” John, you are the best 😂💛

Omg love him!! Stumbled upon his channel- it’s great

God I love this guy. Literally every recipe works. He’s a great teacher.

Thank you John! The lemon curd is super delicious following your recipe.

Thank you for sharing this recipe, John. It’s more easier than other recipes. I got the myer lemon tree too. I was lost of what to do with all those lemons 😂 I look forward for more of your delicious recipes.
