Lemon Curd

Last week I bought a jar of lemon curd. Opening the jar the smell took me back many, many years when I helped my mum to make it, and also the memories of me making it for a Brownie badge!!! Curds like this are an old fashioned conserve,in the late 19th and early 20th century England, homemade lemon curd was a regular addition to the afternoon tea; I have fond memories of my gran's lovely sponge cakes filled with her tangy homemade lemon curd. She would only make a small amount of it at a time as it didn't store as well as jam, due to the egg content. Commercially made lemon curd contains additional preservatives and thickening ...  Read the complete review

I have to say I prefer Homemade Lemon curd to that of any shop variety there is so if I can I spend the time making my version of it. Strongly tangy and a little sharp.

Lovely luscious lemon curd. I love the taste of lemon curd. I am eating a lemon curd sandwich now. The lemon curd I have on my bread is Tescos cost 51p for 411g. This is not their value or their finest range but standard Tesco lemon curd.The finest costs £1.02, the value 38p. I have tasted better more luxurious lemon curds but this one suits me fine.

I was looking for something different I thought I’d buy some lemon Curd. I used to love this when I was little. So when I was shopping at Tesco I popped some “ Tosco’s Finest” in my trolley I got a 411-gram Jar for 51p, pretty good value for money. It smells so nice just like fresh lemons.

Tesco lemon curd is delicious it is has the tangy taste of old fashioned lemon curd. It has a nice strong lemon taste. Lovely and sweet and yet sour at the same time you ...  Read the complete review

Lemon Curd is a British preserve. It is often put into sandwiches or cakes. I personally like to have it in a sandwich with ham, I know thtas you may think that's gross but try it before you shun it, it really is nice. I also like to put it into lemon curd cake, this adds a nice lemony extra that you don't get from just lemon juice and rind. It also makes the cake a little heavier but not in a bad way. Basically I don't ever make lemon cake without lemon curd. Another great use of lemon curd is to put it in a lemon meringue pie underneath the meringue. You can even put it with plain cake. I didn't even know until I'd been using it for a few years what it ...  Read the complete review
