Lemon Tarts (#6)



Recently, I worked with a reporter on a feature story about Dr. Herb Keyser, a Chautauqua resident who makes lemon tarts from scratch and sells them on the grounds, all profits going to the Chautauqua fund. Keyser has been making these specialty desserts for four years. He makes them every night, sometimes staying up until the early hours of the morning to finish the next days batch. He also bakes a chocolate (cookie) surprise and a summer pudding.
A poignant note: Keyser is diabetic and is not able to enjoy his own creations.
