"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.

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

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.

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!

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.

"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!

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

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!

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!

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

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 :)

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 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!

This man is a blessing on this earth

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

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!

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.

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.

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 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 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!🙏🏼♥️♥️♥️

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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!

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

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

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 👍

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!

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

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

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

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!!

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

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.

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. :)

When life gives John lemons he makes lemon curd

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 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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

He’s adorable! I love his recipes!

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!

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

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

You are the best YT Chef 👨‍🍳

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

So wonderful!

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

😂😂”thank you chicken” this is WHY I like to watch you.. you are so animated!!

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 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 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 😀😀

John, you're the best! I had 6 egg yolks left over from a white cake I baked last night. So I remembered seeing your video on pastry cream and gave it a try. You're such an excellent instructor. The pastry cream was absolutely perfect! Thanks for a great recipe.

This is the best recipe for lemon curd I have ever made. It was Eggscelent! Raves from the family and not eggy tasting. Thank you John!

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

I have just finished making this lemon curd and it it fantastic. Just on snag - I cant stop eating it. Great thanks and will definitely be checking your other recipes.

I saw you and I just clicked. You’ve made my lockdown a little bit easier

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?

The BEST 💐 Thanks, John.

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

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.
