For a smoother curd, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after cooking. Meyer lemons are less acidic than regular lemons. If using regular lemons, you may want to reduce the amount of lemon juice slightly. Sterilize your jars if you intend to store the lemon curd long time. The curd can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
