Orange bars??

[jessdalina]

I have recently aquired a surplus of oranges and I want to use them. I love lemon bars but since I have more oranges than lemons I'm curious to substitute lemons for oranges in a lemon bar recipe. Keeping everything else the same. Do you think that would be good? I'd like to keep it as close to a lemon bar as possible. I think they'd be as refreshing as orange juice and may even be great as a brunch dessert for warm summer days. Please let me know how you think this would turn out!

I see you found my lemon bar recipe. I think that would work well. Let us know how it goes. Try this Orange Cornmeal pound cake too. It is killer good.

Thanks for replying to my thread and for the confidence boost! I'm not a very adventurous chef.

I thinkyou might need to cut the sugar at least a bit. Oranges are innately much sweeter than lemons. I would probably start out using half the sugar called for in the lemon bars.

I'm also interested in your results. I love all citrus treats, and cook and bake a lot with oranges.

Dying to try that cake you mentioned, too, Alix... but it will have to wait until my cleanse is over.
