sugar till light & fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time,
beating after each addition, add lemon zest and beat
again. Pour in orange and lemon juices and beat again.
Set aside. When tart has cooled a little, patch any
holes if necessary. Beat filling again till smooth and
bake for 25-30 minutes or till filling is set. If
browning too much, cover edges with foil. Cool and add
lemon decoration if you wish. Lemon decoration: While

arrange lemon slices on top,put icing sugar in small
sieve and sprinkle over top. It will melt on the lemon
slices so that they show through.
