Can lemon curd be frozen? how long does it last in the jar?
I have just made my first batch but wondered what its shelf life is so that I can give it away as Crimble presents ... can anyone advise please?

No more than 6 weeks at the outside in the fridge, although the W.I reccomends 3 weeks. Make small jars.

Never frozen it.

And welcome!

I always thought you couldn't but apparently it freezes well for up to a year. You learn something new every day

And welcome from France where lemon curd freezing may well be taking place in the next week or so

No but I might give it a go - I like ginger.

I'd have assumed it could be frozen merely as the local icecream producer sells lemon curd ice cream and it's yum!
