Lemon Curd, which is used in our Lemon Meringue Tart recipe, is often store-bought for convenience. This year as we celebrate our lemon holidays, we’re sharing how to make a traditional Lemon Curd! This easy and delicious lemon curd recipe can be used in lemon tarts, spread on toast, scones, pancakes, waffles, cookies, between layers of a cake, rolled up in a crepe or for any other lemony dessert!
