Unfortunately Debbie you can not make and can lemon curd. It must be refrigerated and eaten within a couple weeks. The high amt of eggs in the curd make it very perishable. It does not freeze well either altho I have read where some folks have done that. Youy can successfully make marmalades. I use about 3/4 oranges and 1/4 lemons in mine. You can also make lemon marmalade.debbie_7155 said:LOL you guys are making me confused, waxing, paraffin?
