Everything turned out beautifully, except the flavor! I could barely taste any citrus at all. I liked the idea of using blood oranges because of their lovely color, but I think I will stick to lemon juice for my next go around.

I love lemon bars too. I recently blogged about a lemon tart that is actually very similar to the bars (the recipe came from baking sheet). I think doing this with blood oranges sounds delicious. Let us know if you find something that works! Your presentation is lovely too.

Nicole: well, then its time! I just made this rather scary chocolate – condensed milk bar concoction last night (made it up.. might get better with testing, may show up here, no promises) and I think I should have just tried another lemon bar recipe.. I am going to this week for sure.

Hi Nika,

It’s funny because lemon bars are one of my all-time favorite cookies (although I don’t really think of them as cookies). But like you, I’ve never made them at home and I’m not sure why!

Patricia: When I added the orange juice to the eggs, the dark red of the juice diluted out and was getting masked by the egg’s yellow. This is why I added a bit of red food coloring ( http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?id=3E30B2D9-475A-BAC0-5D5C3DB846DFD354&fid=3E33265A-475A-BAC0-597A6ED538D55E2B ).. SO.. what you see is a bit augmented by modern chemistry

Nika,

No matter what you say – these look fantastic.

I should try them with lemon, since I’ve never had/made lemon bars. But I’m stunned by the color you got from using the blood oranges.

The presentation is beautiful, too.
