Eureka Lemons
Country of Origin
South Africa
With an unmistakable vibrant yellow rind, our South African grown Eureka lemons are available throughout the summer months each year. The powerful citrus aroma and textured surface of this variety offers a unique preparation and eating experience. The consistent tart-acidic flavour and almost seedless flesh is the reason that this is one of the most desired lemons from the citron family tree.

To make the pastry base

Press evenly into the bottom of a greased and parchment paper lined 9×13 inch baking pan.
Bake for 20 to minutes at 350 degrees F ( 325 degrees F if you are using glass bake-ware) The bottom should just be beginning to brown slightly at the top edges.
For the lemon topping
Simply whisk together the sugar flour, eggs, zest and lemon juice until the sugar is dissolved.
Allow the topping to sit for about 10 minutes before whisking together well again and pouring over the baked shortbread base.
Bake at 350 degrees F for about another 20- 25 minutes or until the top is slightly browned and the custard appears to be set. Cool completely. Sprinkle with icing sugar when cool or try adding a meringue topping.
