For the Love of Meyer Lemons: Video & A Little Giveaway
This giveaway has ended, thank you all for sharing your love of meyer lemons. Scroll to end of post to see winner.
We do love to share, but sometimes it’s really impossible to pass around a few baskets of citrus from our garden to all you kind folks. When we can, we do enjoy sending out a little bit of our Southern California sunshine to friends in the chilly parts of the country. A little box of citrus love can warm up even the coldest days during the Spring Season. We’ve given away some garden citrus before, but it’s been a while.
Because we love meyer lemons so much and we appreciate you all, we thought it’s time to share some of our garden meyer lemons. It’s not much, but for those of you who don’t get an opportunity to enjoy a really fresh meyer lemon, this little giveaway will bring a little warmth to the chilly part of your world.
And we made a little video, sharing a little glimpse of what’s sprouting up in the garden this month.
There’s just something special about meyer lemons. Their floral fragrance, their delicate beauty and vibrant flavors really add so many wonderful elements to cooking. One of our favorite articles on the many uses of meyer lemons always inspires us to continue cooking and creating new dishes with one of our favorite lemons. It’s so hard to not want to make everything on that list. When the conversation of meyer lemons comes around, everyone’s faces always seem to light up!

Love this giveaway, so nice of you to share such a beautiful creation. I would make all kinds of pastrys,pasta and chicken dishes, drinks, anything I could find and maybe start a beautiful
new tree from a seed. Thanks
What a beautiful blog, I just found you on Pinterest from the potted lemon tree picture :-).
Ciao

Oh i love lemon fruit..
Not Only Sugar
Lovely video, as always. I planted a Meyer lemon tree 2 years ago in a pot, and although it’s seemed to take over a year for the fruit to ripen, the tiny sweet lemons are wonderful. Cheers!
I would make my famous lemon chicken. For dessert there would be lemon bars. The seeds I’d use to grow another tree.
I’d cut them in half and eat them with salt…..and remember all the times my four sisters and I would do just that at our grandma’s house on Saturday afternoons. I can smell them now….miss you, gram.
My teenage son has become quite the baker and lemon is his favorite. I’d let him lead the way but my guess is that he/we’d start with lemon bars or lemon curd.
We planted a lemon Meyer tree 2 years ago, a really small one. It is doing good but we did not see the harvest yet. I am not sure what’s wrong. It is covered with flowers again so I am hoping, maybe this Fall we will see some fruits? Anyway, what I would do with lemons is a lemon curd. Thank you for the opportunity!
Love lemon baked goods, the first thing I would make is lemon bars, then lemon cake or bread
Honestly? I’d drink the lemon with my green tea every morning, until it ran out. I *love* meyer lemons. And, I love your garden!

PS: Peanut is so big!!! Miss you, love you~

Meyer Lemon sorbet, lemon raspberry squares. Hrm, maybe even some savory lemon thyme chicken thighs.
I would make Lemon Bars for work and Chicken Piccata for my husband!
Rosewater and Meyer lemonade and Roasted cauliflower with Meyer lemon slices.
Terrific blog and bee-you-tiful website!
I’m from Miami, but I go to school at Wesleyan, in Connecticut! I’d love a taste of home to help me get through the week. I’d make my favorite Meyer Lemon Semolina cake and some Meyer Lemon Cardamom Crinkle cookies!
Love the blog!
I love using them in salad dressings.
Lemon muffins topped with raspberries 🙂 thanks!
