    Are you a lemon or lime lover? Have you ever tried a Lime Curd recipe or Lemon Curd? It is so good, or crackers, cookies, scones, and toast. How about Key Lime Cupcakes? I made some cupcakes just the other day and I filled them with  Key Lime Curd. It can be used with some of my dessert recipes and it gives it just a little kick.

      I love lime but haven't tried a curd. Putting it in cupcakes sounds wonderful! I might have to give it a try. Thanks!

      I love lime and lemon curd! We use it as a cake filling instead of buttercream. It helps give a perfect balance between the sweet and tangy. One of my faves.
