"This can also be made with regular lemons. I did not want to make tarts etc, so I put it into the freezer and it made a wonderful gelato."

A great tasting Lemon Curd! Have to love how easy it is to make with such great results. I didn't have the Myer lemons, the regular lemons made for a great tasting Lemon Curd perfect to fill mini tartlets or for the Jelly roll I have in the planning.

Fantastic lemon curd! I've tried several lemon curd recipes, and this is among the best! I only had one meyer lemon, so used it and regular lemons. The result was a really rich ultra lemony curd which I enjoyed warm right away with lemon cake, whipped cream, and berries. I also enjoyed it firm chilled by the spoonful with fresh blackberries. Super Yum! Made for the Billboard recipe tag game.
