Preparation

1 Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature. 2 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 3 Place all of the lemon pieces in the blender 4 Add the sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs to the blender 5 Blend until smooth, batter will look "broken" 6 Pour lemon mixture into frozen tart shell 7 Carefully place tart on sheet pan and put into the oven 8 Bake lemon tart at 350 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes, until almost set and golden 9 Watch it towards the end so it doesn't burn 10 Let tart cool completely before slicing.

I do this with cane sugar and it works out great. 12 THIS RECIPE ONLY WORKS WITH MEYER LEMONS

About

Yes, you use the entire lemon in this delicious and simple tart recipe! I use a store bought pie/pastry crust, but of course you can make your own. It's a good idea to par-bake your frozen crust before filling. Follow the instructions on the package of your frozen pie crust...
What to do with all of those lovely Meyer Lemons...well, here you go!
