Lemon Curd

Lemon curd or butter reminds us of good home cooking, afternoon teas, and fêtes and fairs, where it is found in jars with handwritten labels, much like a favourite jam.

It is an essential element of a lemon meringue pie, but it can be used in various ways: on toast, in a sponge - just use your imagination! A necessary and delectable item to have in the refrigerator.
