Lemon curd is a lusciously smooth and intensely flavored spread, condiment, and filling made primarily from lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, sugar, and butter. Its bright yellow color and creamy texture make it visually appealing, while its vibrant, sweet-tart flavor profile delivers a zesty citrus punch. Properly made lemon curd should have a velvety smooth consistency, balancing the sweetness of the sugar with the refreshing acidity of the lemon juice. It's a versatile ingredient used in a variety of desserts and baked goods, offering a burst of fresh lemon flavor.

Lemon curd should always be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Properly stored, homemade lemon curd can last for about 1-2 weeks. Commercially prepared lemon curd may have a longer shelf life, so always refer to the product's packaging for specific instructions. Freezing is not recommended as it can alter the curd's texture and consistency, making it watery upon thawing.
