I made lemon bars

Cookies, they're called Simple Pleasures and the lemon ones are pretty good,
not sweet because they're made for diabetics but the lemon really stood out.

I thought True Lemon was a lemon flavored granule of some sort.

If you are using Meyer lemons - definitely cut the sugar down. I tend to
use the same measures, but visibly scant the filling. And if it's
something like "1 cup plus one tablespoon" I don't add the TBS.

I love lemon bars!

I'll probably use less next time. Also, I forgot that I have lemon
extract, that might find its way in somehow. Thanks.


They're my new favorite! That was fun.

Thanks, Jean... I'll look/ask for it and see if I can turn any up. I
won't be on a mission, but I'll ask at my regular haunts if I remember
while I'm there.


Aha, thanks! I was wondering how good the other flavors were. I'll
stick with lemon, if/when I find it. :)


I want to make lemon poppy seed muffins again. The last time was
*very* good, but it sounds like they'd be even better if I can find
some True Lemon to add.

You should succeed, I think.


The BEST such muffins I ever had were made by my then very young
daughter and her stepmother. I have tried to replicate them many
times. They were supposed to be a Williams-Sonoma recipe, but I
obviously haven't found the right one--or they had been tinkered with.

I won't offer MY recipe because it was not stellar. I am trying
to make more healthful muffins, so perhaps I need say no more. I
have used some of these recipe in the past, but now they are not
coming out right. Is it my new oven? The BP? My switch to
more-healthful brands?

I read your other post and I'd be tempted to blame the oven although
it's easier to blame the baking powder and easier to fix if that's the
culprit. How does your oven work otherwise? Does it roast the way
you expect?

Holey Moley, I just looked up that stuff. $12.95 for 1oz and $17-18
for 5oz.

Medicinal? I've heard that too much bay leaf can taste medicinal, but
this is a first for Meyer lemons. Maybe they're sprayed with
something weird that changed the taste.

(prev. discussion of lemon bars snipped)


Interesting. I haven't heard that before. Do the ones you get have a
perfumed scent? (I get backyard Meyers - they grow very well in this
area.)


Thanks for the tip about TrueLemon. I'll have to look at it. I keep my
lemon goods tart by cutting sugar and adding zest (or lemon oil) but it's
always nice to have extra options.

Did I say that I LOVE LEMON DESSERTS? :)

(Nancy - I keep my Meyers in the fridge. My Eureka lemons are ok out of
it but the Meyers are, IME, more perishable.)

Do you have Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home to Yours?

If so, there is a tart in there, that she got from Pierre Herme. A
Lemon Cream Tart, that is a variation on Lemon Curd...but even better.
NOT Lemon Curd, but almost a cross between a chiffon/lemon curd. Hard
to explain..but OHSOGOOD.

I have wondered about this. I have been using my new oven. The
temp seems to be well-calibrated. But maybe there is some other
difference. I have to experiment with this some more.

Oddly enough, I just got a large bottle of Boyajian's orange oil
for $5.95, which I would have expected for a tiny bottle. I wish
there had been other flavors for THAT price!

Well, being in Massachusetts, the Meyer lemons would be shipped
from elsewhere. I only tried them once, since I didn't like them.
Maybe this was an anomaly, so I'll get another one.

Oh yeah! Now that's the price I'd be willing to pay. Where did you
luck into that find?

I seem to recall I got a similar deal from a local merchant for my largish
bottle as well. But King Arthur Flour sells the 1 oz sampler set for
$12.95 and the small bottle for $3.95 (another brand is $5.95). Wait for
a free shipping deal and you're golden.

Speaking of KAF, they have a Lemon Juice Powder. Does anyone know how
this compares to the TrueLemon? I googled up suppliers for TrueLemon, and
it seems to be mostly big box stores around here, so I'd rather get it
from KAF. Anyone have experience with this product?
