Miniature Lemon Meringue Tartlets
This tiny dessert ended one of the meals I prepared for Grammy during her stay at Chez Stephanie.
Along with a
Paper Wrapped Salmon (from Donna Hay), a salad of mixed greens, and wild rice, there were individual lemon tarts. Prepared pie crust, cut to fit a muffin tin, topped with a strongly lemon-flavored custard, and baked till set. Top with meringue and set under the broiler until browned.
Perfect size, and intensely lemon. Served with vanilla ice cream, Grammy loved it...which is appropriate, as all grandmother's seem to love lemon.

My grandmother came down for a visit last week/weekend. It had been more than a year since I'd last seen her, so I was pretty happy about the visit. I made sure to feed her well, and on the final night of her trip, I cooked up an Irish dinner. Boille-stuffed...
