Why Use Meyer Lemons For Curd
Regular lemons, with their bold yellow appearance and tangy kick, are your go-to for all things zesty and versatile in the kitchen. On the flip side, Meyer lemons bring a touch of sweetness, a thinner skin that’s totally edible, and a hint of floral goodness—perfect for jazzing up your desserts!
