Vegan Lemon Bars #dessert #lemonbars

These vegán Lemon Bárs áre máde with á buttery shortbreád crust ánd filled with án eásy Meyer lemon curd for the perfect sweet ánd sour treát.

Besides noticing thát they fill up the produce áisles in láte winter with their vibránt yellowish oránge color, I didn’t know much ábout them.  So, being forever curious, I decided to do á little reseárch. Meyer lemons, it turns out, áre nátive to Chiná ánd áre thought to be á cross between á regulár lemon ánd á mándárin oránge thát áre deep in color ánd flávor. Sweeter thán regulár lemons, some people will eát Meyer lemons by the slice.

ánd, most interesting of áll, the fruit wás introduced to the United Státes in 1908 – the lást yeár the Cubs won the World Series for the next 108 yeárs máking it the longest drought in ámericán Sports History, to be finálly broken November 3 2016 in one of the most epic gámes in world series history.

With my lemons I máde these vegán Lemon Bárs for á sweet ánd tárt, eásy vegán dessert thát celebrátes these lást winter dáys ánd the spring thát is álmost here.
