Lemon Tart
You guys… this lemon tart is outstanding. I have previously shared about me not liking lemon or anything citrusy but I managed to befriended lemons few years ago. Kinda late, but thankfully it’s never too late to start liking something new.
Farmers Market has been my favorite destination in all cities I’ve stayed. I can’t say it’s a weekend trip because we have them on weekdays, too. Back in LA, it was held every Wednesday and I never missed their grilled corn for lunch. When I moved back to SF, it happened every Tuesday and Saturday. On some occasions, I would go twice a week because I enjoyed it so much, not to mention that as it was located in Ferry Building, it has a view facing the Bay Bridge. It’s gorgeous!
Thankfully, we have Farmers Market around our neighborhood too every Thursday and Saturday. Unlike any other Farmers Market I’ve been to, this one is quite different. It has a small area for kids to play, a section for beer, wine, and cheese, along with other special sections. Yeah, fancy is the right word to describe it.
When I visit Farmers Market, I always hunt for something fresh to support local farmers. So, when I went there the other day I couldn’t stop looking at these lemons. They’re so beautiful that I kept thinking of lemon tarts on the way home. I rushed myself baking the tarts using recipe from Huckleberry and added lemon curd for the filling. Oh yum! I’m super excited with the result and hope you will enjoy it too.

Beautiful! Lemon desserts are one of my favorites! They always remind me of my mother. This looks easy enough even for a non-baker like me.

Joy | The Joyful Foodie says
I used to avoid citrus desserts like the plague because my mom always told me that they didn’t taste good. Then one day a few years ago (how sad that it took me so long!) I tried a lemon bar and my world has never been the same! These lemon tarts look perfect! A great way to use up the abundance of lemons going on right now.
Admin says
Nice story, Joy. Thanks for sharing 🙂
