Zesty Lemon Curd Delight

Zesty Lemon Curd Delight Lemon curd—just saying it makes your mouth pucker a little, doesn’t it? This zesty, tangy, and downright delicious spread has been brightening up breakfasts, desserts, and the occasional sneaky spoonful straight from the jar for years. What Exactly Is Lemon Curd? Despite its name, lemon curd isn’t some weird cousin of cheese curds. Nope, no squeaky texture here! It’s a smooth, silky spread made with just a handful of ingredients: lemons, eggs, sugar, and butter. Simple, right? But oh boy, the result is something magical. It’s kind of like a citrusy custard, but lighter and more spreadable. Some people describe it as sunshine in a jar, which makes sense—one bite, and suddenly you’re transported to a summer picnic, even if it's the middle of winter and you’re wrapped in three blankets.
