Lemon curd should always be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Properly stored, it will generally last for 1-2 weeks. Check for any signs of mold, off-odors, or unusual texture before consuming. For longer storage, lemon curd can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2-3 months, although the texture may change slightly upon thawing. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using and stir well.
