They are more or less the same thing, but lemon cheese would be a higher quality and fewer additives, compared with a shop-bought curd.

Mum used to buy some lump sugar and rub them over the lemon skins, to capture the oil in the zest without having any of the grittiness. It should keep for a few weeks in the fridge, so making a small amount, in small jars, is the best option.

Unfortunately, I don't have her old recipe, and a match for Gale's, circa 1980, isn't the nicest of tastes!

Do you have a recipe you wish to try?
