Not all store-bought curds are created equal. Some lean toward a loose, pouring consistency, ideal for sauces, while others are thick and spoonable, perfect for spreading. Know your intended use before you buy.
For baking, choose a thicker curd to prevent sogginess in your crust. For a parfait, a looser curd will ripple beautifully through cream. Read the spoon test: it should coat the back of a spoon without sliding off like water.
