No one can turn down a good lemon bar. Rich tart and sugary this combination of shortbread and lemon curd is truly in a class of its own. But one simple lemon bar recipe can yield a ton of lemon bars which begs the question: how do you store all those extra lemon bars? Read on to learn how to store lemon bars how long they last and how to prep lemon bars for the fridge and freezer.
Lemon bars should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated to prevent bacterial growth or foodborne illness. The filling in lemon bars is made from eggs and can become a breeding ground for bacteria if stored in the danger zone (between 41 and 153 degrees F). To store lemon bars simply place them in an airtight container and seal tightly. Then refrigerate. When stacking lemon bars place a sheet of parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. According to the USDA lemon bars will last up to 7 days in the refrigerator.
