I love lemons, how about you? When I was little, I picked a lemon from a tree, and it was the sweetest, ripest lemon I have ever tasted, even all these years later.
I have a lot of lemon items in my house, I can't help myself. Isn't this a good idea for a summer table? I'm inspired.
If I can find Meyer lemons I prefer to cook with them, because they are sweeter. And if you are a tea lover you have to make lemon curd for your scones. I guess you don't have to, but it sure is good when you have 20 minuets to make a batch!
Lemon Curd is the perfect filling for tarts too. We like it on pound cake because it's so sweet, and of course the English spread it on toast in the morning. Thanks to Blondie at Blondies Journal, for asking me what else Lemon curd is good with! Visit Her blog, it's adorable!

Those lemon pictures make me think of summer.
Liz,
I have always wondered how lemon curd is made and so I have jotted down the recipe. Do you serve it with anything else other than scones?
I love your pic's and the idea of the lemons on the candlesticks!!
Thanks!! :-)

Liz, what a beautiful blog!! I'd love to meet up with you some time and do some crafting. I'm looking forward to checking out all the wonderful blog posts.
I love lemons too.
Thank you for the recipe. :-)
Have a beautiful weekend.
We love lemon anything -- I do enjoy the small crop I get from my Meyer lemon tree. And yes, lemon curd, is easy. Loved your presentation -- and that cake -- I could cut a BIG slice!
