Lemon Meringue.
I have been feeling like eating sweet stuff for the last week or so. Lots of sweet stuff, maybe lollies...There isn't anything here though and though the husband keeps suggesting that I go into town and buy something I have resisted. There aren't many lollies in our small town that come in a non plastic bag. Husband says I gave him the urge too so I made him some Honeycomb. It was OK. Tasted alright but is kinda powdery and crumbly. He hasn't eaten it though so I'll not be making him anything like that again. I have had some but it hasn't settled my lollie craving so today I made some Lemon Meringue. Not a pie as I don't have it on a pastry base, I just have lemon with meringue on top. I made my normal mixture, put some in two cups and the rest in a pyrex dish that went into the oven. Daughter and grandaughter came out just as I finished so they had a cup and I had a cup, not been in the oven. Raw meringue still taste good. Though it is probably not called meringue then just beaten eggwhite... Anyway it was good and I no longer want lollies. Could have been more lemony but I say that every time I make it and still don't add enough zest.

Hi Jilly, it was yummy. Husband said it was a tad too lemony for him so I had to eat most of it myself. This is why I don't bake or make too often.

Luckily, I am eating chocolate. Otherwise, I would be searching for sweets. Gasp...you don't make your own pastry? Just kidding; I don't either. I can, but I don't. Lots of time I just make the inside of pumpkin pies, just to eat the filling cooked in a casserole dish. When I bake pumpkin pie innards, the recipe makes two, so it goes in a casserole.
ReplyDeleteDo you have your own lemon trees in the yard?
Go to the video shop in town, just up from me. choose your own lollies and they get put into a little paper bag...
ReplyDeleteHi Barb, a great sweet treat ...on my blog last night I posted caramel popcorn it's quick simple and delicious...and you only need 4 ingredients...very moreish that is for sure...
ReplyDeleteIt has been suggested that next time I ride into town, buy some lollies in a paper bag from the vidio shop, ride home again...I sometimes make lollie popcorn, similar to your Caramal popcorn Sherrie but I always make and so eat too much...Need to just do a small batch.
