Our featured dish this week is the Baked Lemon Tart from Pie Junkie and Bakery LTD. This timeless classic is a light and refreshing dessert. The company makes all their pies by hand, using 100% Alberta butter and beet sugar. Pie Junkie uses as much local fruit from the area as possible, depending on the season.
