Lemon bars always hit the spot

Lemons in San Diego are in season. The Meyer lemons make a tangy, delicious

version. I found this recipe in an old Martha Stewart magazine. You could whip up a batch for your Valentine.

Ingredients for crust:
1 1/2 sticks of softened butter
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour.

Lemon Topping ingredients:
4 large eggs
5 Tbs. flour
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup fresh Lemon juice (fresh juice makes a much better bar).

Heat oven to 350 degrees
Combine flour, butter and sugar. Press mixture into a 13×9 inch pan
Bake for 20 minutes until light brown
While the crust is baking make filling
Mix filling ingredients well and pour over cooled baked crust
Bake for 20 minutes till firm. Cool before cutting into squares.
