Estate Meyer Lemon Curd

Knights Bridge Meyer Lemon Curd

One of our favorite KB late summer traditions is fresh Estate Meyer Lemon Curd prepared by Chef Richard in our Knights Valley estate kitchen. Made from sweet and seasonal Meyer lemons, enjoy this Knights Bridge homemade curd on scones, with berries and whipped cream, or straight from the jar.
