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!

Everyone has posted such yummy looking recipe ideas! As a college kid, I’ve got to keep it simple though. I would make some of my favorite garlic lemon rice and serve it with fish or chicken. 🙂
I loooove meyer lemons! Curd, cheesecake, bars, in dressings on salads. They are good for everything!
I shared on facebook too! 🙂
I would LOVE to make lemon pasta, lemon shortbread and squeeze some over ice and tequila. YUM!
Hope I win!! Thanks so much!
A Meyer Lemon-Thyme Scented (or soaked!) Martini made low-carb style with Stevia as sweetener…. mouth watering as I type this…
I have just discovered your website and am determined to try the Meyer Lemon Cardamom Ice Cream…..have always wanted to use Meyer lemons (never have) and I love the flavor of cardamom……..what’s not to like? thanks for sharing!
I’d love to make some into preserved lemon and few to use in cheese cakes. Meyer lemon makes the most floral cheesecake I just cannot replicate with normal lemons!
Thanks for the thoughtful give-away!
I would make preserved lemons….no, no….lemon curd…..no, no, no lemon marmalade. I just discovered your website – very nice!! I am a novice to canning and preserving. Meyer Lemons were a rare find this year here in Kansas. Worth a shot getting a batch. Beautiful filming and music BTW

I would make more preserved meyer lemons, some Ritz cracker crumbs for my fish and some meyer lemon squares!
Your video makes me want to hop on a plane and leave chilly New England behind. I could almost smell the bright, tart scent springing from those lemons. I would cherish them and blend them into rich lemon curd, I would blend a little with olive oil my friend sent me from Tuscany sprinkle it over the first greens of spring, I would candy some peel and simmer the rest into marmalade. Thank you for sharing your bounty.
Thank you for this sweet giveaway! I’d probably make some muffins and perhaps a jam??
lemon curd!
lemon rosemary ricotta cookies! I made them for my partner before we started dating, and he was so impressed by them, it just might be part of the reason we are together! sadly, I don’t live in so cal any more, so Meyers are a lot harder to come by, and they really aren’t the same with regular lemons.
lemon chicken, lemon bars, lemonade, the list is endless!
Oh what a wonderful thing! My lemon trees are one of the things I miss most after leaving So Cal nearly 25 years ago! I have a terrific recipe for adult lemonade, love lemon bars, lemon cake and lemon curd!
Have always wanted to make some candied lemons!
