Evaporation is an issue, and sometimes the sugar has issues. <BR/>I would suggest using 1 Tbl of water with your egg whites when you make your meringue at altitudes over 5000 feet..test it first. You will also need to increase the cream of tarter (which helps prevent sugar Chef Deb Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03410871230420416141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195374093870984413.post-63449294700149631072009-01-24T10:25:00.000-07:002009-01-24T10:25:00.000-07:00thanks Deb - I am going to teach the class how to ...thanks Deb - I am going to teach the class how to make curd, and do many variations.

You can use any citrus you can get your hands on, (Texas grapefruit is nice, or blood oranges, clementines) as long as half the juice is lemon.<BR/><BR/>Cathy, this is also a good application for layered cakes and looks even more amazing if you can candy lemon slices.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment, and good luck with the Chef Deb Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03410871230420416141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195374093870984413.post-77466898232550831592009-01-23T13:57:00.000-07:002009-01-23T13:57:00.000-07:00WOW - these look sooo good.

I will give you credit, and also give them info about your blog. <BR/>Finding Meyer lemons is the hard part. None of the grocery stores in Laramie carry them - I'll just have to make a trip to Ft.

We cooked with half of them and I juiced the rest of them. Now I plan to use some of the frozen juice to make these beauties! Thanks for the idea!Kimberly Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581039928975084205noreply@blogger.com
