Lemon curd is a very popular breakfast spread in England, made with tart lemons and eggs. Also called ‘lemon cheese’, it also can be made with lime or other fruits. It’s sort of like a custard so does not keep for that long, once made. Dating back to the mid 1800s, the recipe was sort of the precursor for the filling for today’s cheesecakes. It is mostly spread on bread or toast, but can also be used to top pancakes or steamed puddings. Some people also ripple it through ice-cream.
