These sunny Meyer lemon bars are a bright and sweet take on the classic lemon bars, using Meyer lemons, a sweeter citrus than typical lemons.
There’s that cliché saying “When life gives you lemons…make lemonade” but for me, I make lemon bars! And though I often make lemon bars with regular lemons (they work just as well in this recipe) my brother happens to have a super prolific Meyer lemon tree in his backyard and surprised me with 15 pounds of Meyer lemons.
So I’ve been making a lot of things with Meyer lemons, like my Meyer Lemon Shaker Tart with Strawberry and Rhubarb, Meyer lemon and Matcha Green tea Bundt Cake, and a Meyer Lemon and Chocolate Bundt Cake. But my favorite recipe might be these Meyer lemon bars, which I might like better than typical lemon bars? (<- It’s a toss up) They have a sturdy shortbread crust that complement the tart sweet lemony filling on top. I’m slightly obsessed with them, so there may be another batch or three in my near future…
