When you want to cook with local ingredients, it can be difficult to replace lemon or lime in some recipes. But local sea buckthorn, a small orange berry that’s very acidic, deserves to be better known, as it may be a perfect replacement! In this recipe, we use it the way we would for lemon meringue pie, replacing lemon juice with a speedy homemade sea buckthorn juice. Hurrah for local ingredients!
