<p>As someone who doesn&#8217;t like lemon or anything that is even remotely sour, I really love this lemon curd. It has the perfect balance of texture and taste &#8211; not too sour or too sweet, not too runny or too thick &#8211; Just right! Look at that creamy deliciousness, don&#8217;t you just want to dig right in?!</p>

<p>As always, let me know if you make this, I&#8217;d love to see! ; ; <a name="recipejump"></a></p>
<p>Happy indulging,</p>
