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!

Lemon chess pie, lemonade, lemon bars, lemon puns cake, lemon meringue pie
I’d make Lemon Bars. And eat them All. By. Myself. 🙂
Making lemon curd has been on my list for awhile now!
Lemon marmalade (similar to a kumquats I have on my blog)! I love lemons! Pick me, please! 🙂
I love lemons and use them in many ways, from cooking to using them as a disinfectant. I must say that I have never tried a Meyer lemon. We only get commercial ones in the markets on Cape Cod. I have a delicious recipe for lemon bars that I would like to use them in.
I would make lemon merangue pie. I look forward to making one that doesn’t make my mouth pucker and my teeth hurt. I might even like lemonade again.
lemon curd–to make them last longer!
BEAUTIFUL video!!! AND—-LEMON ROSEMARY CHICKEN with CREOLE SEASONING!!! From a Southern “Susanne” from South Carolina !!!
I would love to be creative… a lemon cake maybe?
I would make preserved lemons and eat some of them plain. Meyer lemons are wonderful.
HOW SWEET of you!!! I would make LEMON TASSIES, of course!!!! Although, CREAM PUFFS with LEMON FILLING would be a close second!!! THANK YOU for sharing.
Homemade lemon sparkling soda!
I would just stare at them until I would ahve to use them.
I would make your vinegarete & bars. I have made both before & they have both made it into my “old faithful” recipes. I have been layed up with a foot injury so I’m super anxious to get back into the kitchen! I’d also make a fresh cocktail! Nothing better than Meyer lemons to get into gear for Spring!
Plenty of lemon stickies.bars, lemon zest pasta, and lemonade galore!
Ooh. I would definitely make some kind of lemon pie or tart, but as I scrolled past everyone else’s ideas, now I want to try more things! I’d end up reading as many recipes as I could and make ones that looked tasty until I ran out of lemons.
