A fruit curd is one of the various types of dessert sauces or spreads that was first used in the late 1800s. At that time, lemon curds were the most popular, but strawberries, apples, and raspberries were also used. Regardless of what recipe is used, making a fruit curd also typically requires sugar, eggs, and butter.
Lemon curd is a thick, creamy spread that is made by cooking together lemon juice, egg yolks and sugar.Fresh lemon juice and sugar provide the flavor of the curd, while the egg yolks serve to thicken up the mixture as it cooks, just as eggs thicken up a cooked custard.Most curd recipes also call for butter to be added to the finished curd, just to add a little extra richness and an extra-silky mouthfeel.emon curd can be used for a variety of different things. The simplest way to use it is to spread it onto a homemade scone, into a crepe or onto a toasted English muffin.
