Melt butter in a 700watt microwave on High of 1 minute. In a large bowl, whisk together the rest of the ingredients, except the cream.

If not thick, cook in 30-second bursts, stirring well until it's thickened
Pour into small, clean, dry jars, seal and cool.


Note: . If you don't have a microwave, make lemon curd in a bowl over a pan of simmering water
