Loved, Loved Loved it! So easy and tasty! I will never buy Lemon Curd again. And now, I can use this as a starting point for other curds. Thank you so much!

Haha, I had an open jar of storebought lemon curd in the fridge, and after tasting this in comparison to that one, I tossed the remainder of the storebought jar because it tasted artificial to me! This did take a long time to thicken up, but I think it's because I had turned the heat down too much. Once I increased the heat a bit, it thickened up pretty quickly. I used most of this in Recipe#450649 by gailanng (which it was lovely in, I might add). So fresh-tasting, and pretty simple to make, too. Thanks for posting! Made for The Honeys for ZWT8
