Regarding butter and curd …

You are correct – fruit curd contains eggs, whereas fruit butter and fruit cheese do not contain eggs. (Fruit cheese and butter are similar except that fruit cheese contains more sugar, is cooked longer and keeps longer than fruit butter.)

Really popular holiday gifts, especially corporate (cheap, non-gender-specific, etc.) Everything but the caramel corn gets stale and nasty pretty quickly with the prepackaged stuff, but there is (used to be?) a place in the mall called Karamel Korn that makes it fresh… you buy a tin once, then you get it refilled more cheaply, though we never bothered with the three-way stuff and always got straight caramel corn (which, as I recall, they called that; I think I would have passed if they called the actual product Karamel Korn… what, is that like “cheez” or “creme” where you misspell it because it isn’t real?)

(Mmm, caramel corn.)

And no, we have mason jars, though once in awhile you’ll hear them called canning jars or jelly jars.

And even in the US, it’s strawberry *jam*, or occasionally “preserves.” There’s also strawberry butter, which Wikipedia insists is equivalent to “curd” in the UK, but I don’t know: lemon curd involves egg yolks, and strawberry (or apple) butter doesn’t. And I’ve never heard anyone in the US refer to lemon (or lime, etc.) curd as “lemon butter,” though I suppose it doesn’t seem unlikely. Certainly looks more like butter than apple butter does.
