I have used this same microwave rec ipe for about 15 years and todays batch won't thicken. Any ideas! Should I add another egg as the lemons were very juicy!

Could have been a case of using the wronge breed of lemon.

I'd add another yolk and recook it.Was the juice measured or did it just say juice of x lemons!There can be a huge variance between lemons.

Is there a wrong lemon breed! I've used both Lisbon and Meyer in my microwave lemon honey and they both work fine, although I prefer Meyer.
I always use a little more juice than my recipe states, as I like it very lemony, and just nuke it a bit longer. Always sets.

Why just the yolk please! I have made this recipe with every variety of lemons butthese were super juicy. Yes it did just say the juice of x lemons.

The very reason why I always choose, if possible, a recipe that has a stated measure of any juice, not just the juice of x lemons, oranges or whatever - fruit do indeed vary so much in size and juice yield.:-))

Because the yolk is the part of the egg that will do the thickening.If you don't have an immediate use for the egg white, freeze it for another day when you might need just 1 egg white for a meringue topping or a batch of meringues.:-))

Hot water meringues recipe uses only one egg white. :)
