I got gifted a big bag of lemons recently. Now, this presents a bit of a conundrum for me as I’m sad to report that my husband is not a fan of anything lemon flavoured. (I know! I can’t get my head around it either) He can sniff out a touch of added zest in a dish from 10 paces. I, on the other hand, loooove the sharp bite that you get from a good bit of lemon.

So, what to do? Well, I remember making him a lemon meringue pie way back in the mists of time when we were first seeing each other and him quite liking it. Now, he could have been just being nice, but give me that gap and I will run through it with a lemon in each hand.

Of course, back then it would have been a traditional sugar-laden lemon meringue pie which isn’t going to happen now. So, I played around with different sweeteners and made what felt like a million meringues and curds until I found what I feel is the perfect balance of sweet and tart.

The verdict? While he won’t ever claim to love it, hubby said that he enjoyed it more than he expected to. Me? I could eat it for breakfast… but that’s a whole other story.
