Claire Saffitz Makes Meyer Lemon Tart | Dessert Person
Spring is around the corner, but if you need a pick-me-up in dessert form, look no further than this sunny, zingy, Meyer lemon tart with a hidden ribbon of raspberry jam. It’s one thing Claire loves to make in winter, using the gift of Meyer lemons, but is even more classic if made with regular lemons all year round. Be warned, it’s very tart, but that’s how lemon desserts should be!
