Lemon curd, made from lemon juice, butter, eggs, and lemon zest, boasts a smooth, creamy texture and a zesty, buttery flavor, making it an ideal filling for desserts.

An unconventional way to enjoy lemon curd is by pairing it with a peanut butter sandwich. The sweet spread and the salty peanut butter create a snack with a balanced flavor profile.

Compared to the jellies commonly used with peanut butter sandwiches, lemon curd contrasts peanut butter’s flavor to a higher degree while also complementing its taste and texture.

Although lemon curd possesses the sweetness of jelly, its zesty taste adds freshness without making the sandwich overly saccharin, especially when paired with something salty.
