Meyer Lemon Bars

Meyer Lemons are grown in California and they are different from regular lemons because they are less acidic, and have a sweeter flavor. Meyer Lemons were brought to America from China at the turn of the century by an employee of the United States Agriculture Department, the Meyer Lemon was named after him. Meyer Lemons are thought to be a cross between a regular lemon and a mandarin orange. Since we had Meyer Lemons in the fridge, and there is a grove of trees at school, I decided to make a Meyer Lemon Bar, instead of a regular Lemon Bar.

Due to the Meyer Lemon these bars did not have the tart flavor that a Lemon Bar is known for, but they were still delicious.
