So, in the end, I improvised and it was a partial fail.

 

I retasted the lemon slices and it was a no go.

 

So, I cooked off the puff pastry sheet per the MS recipe (egg wash and sugar).  I made a pastry cream to allow strawberries to adhere.  I "frosted" the puff pastry sheet with pastry cream and halved strawberries and glazed with red currant jelly.  It looked very good.  However, as expected, the puff pastry sogged out.  The epicurious pastry cream recipe is a good one through  http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/pastry-cream-351010  Be aware that it makes a very stiff cream.  I was hoping that would help with the sog factor but it did not.

 

Also, here is the MS recipe to be avoided.  http://www.marthastewart.com/344324/meyer-lemon-pastry
