Notes
- Can you use bottled lemon juice? Unfortunately, no. Using fresh lemons is key for this - the stuff in the bottle just will not cut it!
- How to store lemon curd - seal in a plastic container or jar with a lid (or tightly covered with plastic wrap). It will keep for about a week in the refrigerator!
