Lemon curd made at home from real lemons is infinitely better then anything you can buy in a shop! Making it yourself allows for the variation in sweetness or acidity depending on it's final use.

I often use this as a base for my Raspberry Lemon Meringue Mess, or to add to my Lemon Curd Teacake with Cinnamon Syrup.

It can also be used as an accompaniement to other dessert such as Strawberry Sablee or an Icecream topping.

It's uses are numerous. Here I've reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup so it wasn't too sweet. The addition of the rind from another lemon can intensify the lemon flavour if it needs to be extended.

Enjoy!
