A curd doesn't really "set up" the way a jam or jelly does. It should resemble a pudding. How long did you cook it for? You could try cooking it longer. The 170 rule for curds is not to determine a "set", but more to insure food safety regarding the eggs. While thermometers are great, they may not always be accurate. Trust your eyes and your spoon and when it looks set, it is! I hope this helps.Keep me posted.

I just made your recipe with grapefruit instead of lemon. However, 3 hours later and it still hasn't set up, even though I cooked it to 170oF (setting temp for fruit curds). Can I recook it again? Should I add something more to it, to make it set? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Lemon curd has eggs and butter in it, so it requires refrigeration. So make it, put it in sterilized jars and store it in the refrigerator.

I have a question...I hope you receive this so late. Do you process the jars in a boiling water bath? For how long? And are these stable for shelf storage?

I ask because all my canning books don't advocate using eggs/oil, but I KNOW lemon curd is made somehow!

It's beautiful! Thank you for the recipe.

If you are really desperate you can mail order them from limoneiria.com . I have not personally used them but I have heard they are good. Let me know how the freezing works out.

I used to have a source for meyers, but now that I live in Oregon, and my little cointainer meyer trees are not producing, I too did costco double take. and then made purchase without hesitation. I called my mother from the checkout line and alerted her to the meyer lemons too. (she's in CA)

The meyer lemon curd I made was amazing! (I used a recipe out of the local paper, which says you can freeze the curd).. cover with saran wrap pressed into the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and you're ready to freeze..

Glad you enjoyed it!

My wife made this for lunch today, off the hook, everyone had seconds and now there are no leftovers that I was planning on eating in the middle of the night

If you're no longer friends with someone who once gave you bagfuls of meyer lemons then you have no choice but to shop at Costco. That's my rational and I'm sticking to it.
