Lemon curd is a soft custard of sorts, made with lemon juice, sugar, egg
yolks, butter and a pinch of salt.

Uses:

- pie filling (think lemon meringue pie or lemon tart)
- cake filling (lemon curd sandwiched between buttery golden cake layers
makes a lovely dessert, imho)
- as an ingredient in trifle
- as a spread
- by itself or with fresh berries and/or whipped cream

I'm sure there are other uses that I haven't thought of.
