Homemade takes 10 minutes to cook and tastes like sunshine.

It sounds fancy, but homemade lemon curd is just lemons, sugar, eggs, and butter whisked together for about 10 minutes then chilled in the fridge until set. That’s it.

The result? A jar of bright, velvety lemon curd that instantly makes toast, yogurt, pancakes, or cake taste like spring. It’s tangy, sweet, and one of those recipes that makes you feel like you know what you’re doing in the kitchen.

Tag a friend who always buys lemon curd at the store. They need to see how easy this is to make at home.

What would you eat with lemon curd first?

Instead, we use cabbage cooked down with ground beef, carrots, and onions in a rich savory gravy, then top it all with creamy mashed potatoes and grated parm.

It’s cozy. It’s hearty. It’s weeknight-friendly.
