Easy
This is fabulous. It did take a while for mine to set so if you are still cooking it after 10 or so minutes, don't worry it comes together in the end.

Altered ingredient amounts.
Bang and it's done - takes long to juice lemons than make!
Add a couple of yolks too, no need for caster sugar I find also Rather than risk the egg cooking out, finish in a bain Marie - just a couple of minutes, marvellous - mines cooling now.

Easy
This is such a quick and easy recipe. It tastes so much more tangy than the shop bought stuff. I'm going to try it with a sugar substitute to see if it still works and tastes as good.

Easy
very lemony but good.
makes ALOT and when heating it will expand so ensure you microwave it in a big jug/container (or you'll be cleaning the microwave plate!)
