Lemon Lime Bars, pg 119


As luck would have it, another one of my Bountiful Baskets had limes and the week prior had lemons so I had all the makings for these lemon lime bars.

The Verdict: I guess I was expecting more lemon than lime so it was quite a surprise when eating these. I have some beef with this recipe because you add the lemon and lime zest to the filling and then you strain the mixture which not surprisingly, strains out all the zest (along with any cooked egg bits). I guess the zest infuses the filling when you're cooking it on the stovetop but I still think it's a waste. 

Tips for Next Time: I don't think there will be a next time. I didn't care for the lime aspect of these, made them too acidic. And the folks of work agreed because while they'll eat just about anything, these were so strong people were cutting bars in half and even then, there were still some leftover the next day.
