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!

I’d make lemon bars.
I shared your giveaway on my FB page — https://www.facebook.com/micheledrumm
Lemon bars! What a fun giveaway, thanks 🙂
First, I would take photos of the lemons as I love to shoot food primarily. Then I would make a lemon bundt cake with a lemon citrus glaze to go over it and before eating (which would be hard not to do right away), I would photograph the cake with some the leftover lemons.
I would also try my hand at a lemon meringue pie as both my partner and I like it.
It would have to be a Lemon Icebox Pie! Then I would have to just eat a couple as I watch the last of the Michigan snow melt!
Lemon chicken, lemon cookies, lemon bars… Yum
So sweet… and this video made me so jealous of your fresh citrus. Yeah, there are some perks of living in New England. But I think I could give them up for these beautiful lemons.
As for what I would do with them? Well, I think I might have to try my hand at a meyer lemon pie.
What an amazing giveaway! I would make curd, candied lemon slices, marmalade and loads of lemon bakery, including pound cake and scones. 🙂
Lemon bars!
I love the flavor of lemon as much as I love chocolate. Id make lemon curd to put on top of my lemon poundcake.
I would make salad dressing and maybe a citrus olive oil cake, and perhaps some lemon cookies. Oh yum. This could be fun!
Hello!
I would make preserved lemons, a lemon sorbet, and lemon/lavendar shortbread! 🙂 Cheers!
I would make preserved lemons out of some of them, grate some of the peels into a lemon-mint risotto, and make some lemon-cardamom ice cream!
What a cool giveaway! And how nice of you! Meyer lemons are a delicacy and I’d make lemon bars, lemon cookies, and maybe lemon ice cream!
My daughter’s favorite is lemon meringue pie. If I won, I’d make her a lemon meringue tartlet. Yum. Thanks for the opportunity.
Curd, marmalade, preserved meyer lemons, lemon pie, lemon cake…Thanks so much for sharing w/the community! =)
