I love lemon curd sandwiches, lemon curd and in fact anything with lemon or ginger in it was my mum's favourite so I got a taste for both at an early age and still like both of them.

Lemon and ginger buns (small cakes similar to muffins but a bit denser are one of my favourites).

Hi all..I have never seen (or heard of) lemon curd. for some reason it does not sound to appealing. Curd & Crud are almost the same - word wise, it could be just that matter,huh?

Need to get mowing before it heats up.. later everyone
