    • Hi Christina, you can make it a day or so ahead. The pastry will soften a bit but won’t be soft, just less crisp. Make sure you keep it well covered in the fridge to prevent it from absorbing other flavours. Dusting it with icing sugar prior to serving will also ensure that the top looks OK>

  1. Nelson area is flooded with citrus of all varieties. They thrive in Nelson’s climate. Lemon honey is my favourite task for my friends and neigbours. Tonight for visitors I shall make your citrus tart.

  2. Wow! Easy, simple, super, super yummy. Compliments left right & centre. Best part was that all ingredients were already in cupboard. (Apart from the ice-cream, we used vanilla, worked just as fine). The quantities called for vs my pie tin left me with extra filling, so stright into the freezer it is for next time. Yay!!!!! Thanks Helen, this will now be a family fav for sure. Rate A++
