What is a fruit curd?
Fruit curd is a rich, fruit juice based jelly-like spread that can be used as a topping or filling for anything from toast to pies and cupcakes. It is like a custard, but uses egg yolks and butter instead of cornstarch for thickening and texture.
What do I do with lemon curd?
Lemon curd can go with almost anything that would pair well with lemons, especially baked goods. It makes a great dessert topping, but it can go on things like toast and English muffins as well. It is a great add-in for yogurt, and the perfect filling for doughnuts and sweets. If you’re in the mood for something lemony, this is sure to satisfy.
Storage Instructions:
This curd stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 1 week and up to 3 months in the freezer. The texture isn’t quite as nice after it has been frozen, but it is still good and beats store-bought curd by a long shot.
