I made a big batch of this for a potluck and it was a hit!
Note: Turmeric will turn the filling yellow AFTER it heats up... I kept adding more because it wasn't as bright as I wanted it, and in the end it looked like a curry!!
Also, I should have turned the heat up higher when bringing the filling to a simmer. It took too long to come to temperature, and by the time it simmered I had overcooked the agar and needed to add more.

These were SO good! I used meyer lemon since they were in season. Wish the crust was a tad sweeter, may use 2 extra tsp maple syrup instead of water next time. Otherwise, huge hit!

LOVE the tartiness of the lemon filling, but think I may change some things up in the crust next time to satisfy the more picky eaters in the house. A word of caution, be sure to get agar POWDER. I had agar flakes & the filling did not set the first time. I had to scrape it back into a pot, add a LOT more agar flakes, & repour. Came out great the second time around!
