Interesting!

My mum makes lemon curd and lime curd, i prefer lime as it is sharper and ballences the sweetness better

strawberry works very well...i guess you could do it with any fruit as long as you get the balance right.....and remember to squeeze lemon juice with which ever fruit you use.

kiwi would be good ...might have to try that next
