Lemon Curd
This lemon curd takes its bright, zesty character from concentrated Sicilian lemon juice and lemon zest, bringing both juice and peel into the recipe rather than juice alone. Whole egg and unsalted butter give it a rich, creamy counterpoint and smooth, velvety texture, balancing the refreshing citrus flavour without losing its pronounced lemon character.
Highfield Preserves handcrafts this curd in small batches in Devon, using fresh lemons, whole eggs and British butter. The 34% butter content anchors the recipe's richness, while whole eggs form another part of its smooth and creamy base.
The curd received a 2026 Gold Award from Taste of the West, with its generous lemon content and balance drawing particular praise. It suits a keen home baker or someone who enjoys a bright lemon spread at breakfast: spoon it onto warm toast or scones, or use it as a filling for cakes.
A more personal find
For someone seeking a vegetarian option, Highfield Preserves lemon curd fits the bill without narrowing its familiar serving and baking uses. Once opened, the jar should be refrigerated and consumed within four weeks, so it is best chosen when there will be several opportunities to enjoy it rather than leaving it for a distant occasion.
