I got the original recipe in 1978 when I moved to KC. I was in my mid 20s and my new neighbor, who was in her 50s was a fantastic cook. She shared these luscious lemon bars with me. I have added more fresh lemon juice and more fresh lemon zest to the original recipe because we love the more intense flavor. You can easily make...

Tips:

  • Zest the lemons before juicing them. This will release the flavorful oils from the lemon peel.
  • Use fresh lemon juice whenever possible. Fresh lemon juice has a brighter, more vibrant flavor than bottled lemon juice.
  • Don't boil lemon juice. Boiling lemon juice will destroy its delicate flavor.
  • Add lemon juice to dishes at the end of cooking to preserve its flavor.
  • Store leftover lemon juice in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
