Can I make I confession?

I don’t really like lemon curd. There. I said it. I can feel all of the glares now.

I know a lot of you love lemon treats, but for me, it’s not a favorite of mine. Sure, I love lemon poppy seed loaves, frozen strawberry lemonade, lemon muffins, and lemon cakes. I also love lemon in savory dishes (this asparagus or those green beans and that soup ). But lemon meringue pie, lemon curd, or anything with a lemon custard filling just doesn’t appeal to me. I think it’s because the lemon flavor is too strong, and I prefer it to just flavor the batter of a cake, cupcake, or loaf.

So I guess it doesn’t come as a surprise that I skipped the ever-so popular lemon curd and made a Raspberry Grapefruit Curd instead. With no lemon in sight, the raspberries and grapefruit take over as the star of the show!
