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 would make a lemon cake and some lemon curd!
There’s no end to what I would LIKE to make – and so many good ideas, above 🙂
In the end, humble lemon squares, lemon curd, maybe gelato. Can’t go wrong!
There are so many things I could make. Lemon pound cake, lemon tarts and of course decorating with myer lemons.
I have no idea. I have not ever used or tasted one. Our access to Meyer lemons is limited here in Alaska. I know my granddaughter would just take one and eat it. She is a lemonaholic. I will have to google Meyer lemons to find some good recipes. So many of the ones mentioned above sound scrumptious. Thank you for your generosity!

Thanks for the giveaway!
I have a spaghetti recipe that calls for Meyer Lemons, would love to make it!
Lots of lemonade !
It used to be my daughter’s favorite when was made from just picked lemons at my backyard.
Unfortunately,the tree died off several years ago, and she refuse to drink any other store bought lemonade!
I’ve never had a meyer lemon before… I think I would first make some lemonade to see what their flavor is and how it differs from a normal lemon and then I would probably make lemon bars.
I love making lemon curd, but I think I would try something completely new! What a delicious giveaway – thanks!
Lemon Cookies and lemon pie to start with. Fresh Meyer lemons would be fantatic!! Thanks
We can’t get meyer lemons in my area, for some reason our groceries don’t or won’t stock them. I have absolutely NO idea how I would narrow down all the drool worthy recipes I’ve collected over the years that call for them!
I would make lemon pie, lemon cake, lemon curd and anything else lemon that I could dream up. I love lemon anything!
Meyer lemonade sweetened with maple syrup, meyer lemon olive oil and cormeal cake! Laura
I love lemon sooo, after I preserved some and made my favorite lemon cheesecake(for my birthday), I would plant the seeds and make little lemon leaf pots to give to my friends:)
I would make some delicious lemon cookies! Or maybe curd 🙂
Meyer Lemon Margaritas…or Meyer Lemon Pound Cake. Love your blog, photos & recipes!
