    I planned to stop by TJ's for some maple syrup & other goodies to bring home to my family, which I did, but I also ended up impulsively buying two jars of lemon curd for family members. If they ask me what to do with it, I won't know what to say, since I've never had it before.

    So if you buy TJ's jarred lemon curd, what do you usually do with it?

    It's also good over pound cake.

    How about scones? Or shortbread, for an erstaz lemon bar?

    How about lemon tarts which you can serve with tea or with scones and clotted cream.

    Spread it on hot buttered toast, in place of jam. Or just eat it with a spoon.

    At this full tea, the lemon curd (right) was served with clotted cream (left) on scones:

    Cooks Illustrated had a summer recipe last year where they put fresh berries in a baking dish, covered them with a whisked mixture of lemon curd, sour cream, and cream cheese, dusted the whole thing with brown sugar and baked a few minutes until the top was caramelized.

    Lemon curd on an authentic, hot, buttered English crumpet. The warmed butter and the spread slide into all of those perfect little crumpet holes. Delicious.

    Made my first batch of choux paste today; a lemon curd fool (cut the lemon curd with whipped cream) inside a creampuff sounds like a great idea. I'm planning on doing it with leftover cranberry sauce...
