Want to make the most of the last few lemons on the tree? Gran Marjorie was way ahead of you with this absolutely amazing Lemon Delicious Tart…

Corrina even remembers helping to make the pastry back in the day, including the possible inclusion of dripping in the recipe, which made the pastry lovely and savoury against the lemony sweetness 😋

It’s the perfect excuse to invite your friends round for a cheeky glass of wine in the garden, or a refreshing way to finish a great meal with the family. Nothing too complicated here, just great flavours, and crumbly goodness.

So pick those lemons and show us your version of this great recipe on socials!
