I have only made curd the old fashioned way, and since I don't own a microwave, cannot immediately try this out.
for the other poster, tho -- I have made lemon, lime, and clementine curd - all very good. grapefruit curd seems very interesting, too.
the canning books say you can can curd (!!) but it needs to be kept in the fridge, even unopened. it will keep for 3 months that way - but who can keep this for 3 months without eating it?
also, I have added curd to buttercream frosting for the outside of a cake, while putting curd on the layers in between. yummy!
