Lemon aids
Throughout the summer I generally bake a little less and the baking I do is often of a different nature to my cold weather fare. Summer baking features light sponges and plenty of raspberries, this year there was fresh cherry cake, raspberry and almond cake, Victoria Sponges filled with strawberries and frequent helpings of meringue. And there were plenty of lemons. My kitchen is never without lemons, they seem to provide the perfect answer all year around.
In summer they are sharp and refreshing and in winter their oily zest is the perfect tonic.
On a grey day they cannot be matched, grey and yellow, a perfect combination.
A sweet crisp pastry with a lemon drenched eggy topping. Lemon aids mood improvement.

I agree, totally, about the importance of lemons. And by the way, I always add the juice of one to my apple sauce. :)
