Mixed Berry & Lemon Curd

"While enjoying some TJ’s Lemon Curd on an English Style Crumpet, it oc-curd to us that this adored spread (loved by customers since 1994) could use a companion. This was the conception of Trader Joe’s Mixed Berry & Lemon Curd, now available on our grocery shelves for a limited time!

You can tell from the name, it’s a berries and lemon-flavored spread—but let’s just take a step back, in case your Curd knowledge is limited. Essentially, this kind of Curd is a class of preserves made by cooking fruit juice with eggs, butter, and sugar to create a spreadable condiment that is not quite like jelly or jam. What generally sets the Curd profile apart is its thicker, smooth, almost “creamy” texture. What sets our Mixed Berry & Lemon Curd apart, specifically, is its rich flavor that comes from blackberry purée, concentrated juices of raspberry and blackcurrant, and lemon juice.

The result is a complex and ripe Mixed Berry taste, matched with bracingly tart Lemon, and just enough sugar to balance the tangier aspects of the fruit. Its creamy texture makes it super simple to spread on anything, from English Muffins to Belgian Waffles. It makes a great addition to a cheeseboard, and it’s equally enjoyable as a dessert topping, on TJ’s French Vanilla Ice Cream or New York Deli Style Cheesecake! You’ll find it on our grocery shelves among our jams and preserves, October through December."
