Lemon curd is a delicate balance of lemons, sugar, eggs, and butter, which makes it a bit of a fragile creature when it comes to storage. If you've made it at home, you can expect it to last for around 2 weeks in the fridge, as long as you've stored it in an airtight container. But, let's be real, it's so delicious that it'll probably be gone in half that time!
Now, if you've bought your lemon curd from a store, the shelf life is a bit longer, typically ranging from 6 to 12 months. However, this depends on the ingredients and preservatives used, as well as how well it's been stored. So, always check the label and look for any signs of spoilage before digging in!
