i just came from south west Greece and my friend’s country home was just surrounded by lemon trees. I was basically day dreaming what I would do with those lemons.

Maria Clara, yes, you can line the pan with aluminum foil and let it overlap on TWO sides only so you can “pull up” the entire dessert in one go, after it has been chilled. Then transfer to a cutting board and use a long sharp knife to cut it. Kieran, I would love to have Meyer lemons for this dessert but they aren’t available in Manila, to my knowledge. I just use whatever fresh lemons I find…though I would agree quality sometimes varies. Queen B, what luxury to have your own fruiting lemon trees! Didi, the one pan didn’t last long! Ria, cut them cold, with a long sharp knife, clean off the knife after each cut (if anal retentive) and to get even sizes measure the edges with a ruler and plot toothpicks so that the squares turn out actually square… Also, I get to pick the best looking ones for the photos…not everything looked so perfect…heehee.

Hi MM,

I love lemon squares. And yours are so evenly cut, how do you do that?

The lemon bars looks yum! I’ll have to try this once the lemons in our backyard ripens, at the moment they are still green, around autumn, maybe… hope it will look (and taste) as good as those…
