In reply to Margaret. Hi Margaret! You can certainly use a different fruit on top if you'd like. Lots of different fruits go well with lemon. :)

These are so cute! Using mason jar lids is so creative! I’d really like to make these and am wondering if I can sub some other kind of fruit or if it won’t taste as good with the lemon. Thanks!

Oh my word, where has this blog been all my life?? These are fabulous recipes! ( And Phil, you don’t technically HAVE to bake the graham cracker crust, it won’t kill you if it’s raw. Pinky swear and will bring you tea and toast if it does. K?).
I only came for the Texas Caviar recipe. Vegan. Healthy veggie. It was a slippery slope to pies!

YESSS I love single serving/mini desserts so much. And I’m glad you’re with me on the imperfect lawn. And I actually love that fact (darn those French for making this so commonplace!)… I’m going to be telling people this for a long time to come (I know, I’m fun at parties) 😉

Mason jars are so handy for so many things, aren’t they!? Thanks so much, Megan! 🙂

I absolutely adore the idea of serving desserts in mason jar lids, particularly because I have an obsession with single serving desserrts. they’re just so cute.
These tarts sound absolutely delicious too, lemon and blueberry make a perfect pair!

I much prefer an imperfect lawn, all that manicuring is way too much effort for what is essentially a patch of grass – a mismatch of flowers and clovers etc is sooo much prettier (and yay bees!). And fun fact, the idea of the perfect lawn started in france just before the revolution and was used as a status simple. It was basically them saying “look how rich I am, i can afford to have a piece of land and do nothing useful with it!” Okay, I might have oversold that fact with the word “fun” – useless may have been a better word 😉

We don’t devote a lot of time to yard maintenance either, probably because we’re in the kitchen too much 😉 But I’d say it’s worth it if I could make a great treat like these! I don’t have small tart shells, so using mason jar lids is genius!!

In reply to P at.

Haha! My husband is the exact same way about coconut cake, Pat. He was so disgusted that I was making it, but it’s a classic dessert on my mom’s side (though my family members are a mixed bag of lovers/haters of coconut… a lot of them complain about the texture). Your comment about your mom taking home the wrong baby made me laugh, I’m glad at least you like these tarts! 🙂 (PS. Zach hates everything lemon, too, so he was really an unhappy camper when I made the cake and tarts in the same weekend).

Yum Sam
Now what do I do with a husband who will want to eat all 16 at once and could. Great job and a big step up after the coconut cake. LOL my biggest hate on earth. All my life every Easter, my mom would hand grate a fresh coconut, then bake a 3 layer from scratch yellow cake. She would then top it with a homemade cooked marshmallow icing and cover it with the coconut. The entire family would go crazy over this cake and I hated it and still do. My mom told people she left the hospital with the wrong baby. I can’t sing either which is another reason why she said I was not hers. 🙂
