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!

Ooh, I’m always so jealous of people that can grow their own lemons! Not much of an option here in Ohio. I’d probably use them to create some lovely meyer lemon layer cake for my boyfriend’s upcoming birthday. He loves lemon too.
I would bake with them! Maybe some muffins. And if there are extras, use them in cocktails. 😉
Tweeted it! https://twitter.com/AshleySFlintoff/status/319130778258776064
I’d try my hand at some lemon curd, candied lemon peel, my grandma’s famous lemon bars and my mother’s favorite lemon angel pie!
Preserved lemons, lemon curd, roast chicken with fennel, castelveltrano olives and lemon!
Probably meyer lemon sorbet
First, I think I would scan all these comments again for inspiration. And I would make this http://www.simplebites.net/strawberry-meyer-lemon-marmalade-recipe/!
It would have to be my all time favorite…Lemon Meringue Pie…Yummmm
I would make y’all’s Meyer lemon bars and then give them to my husband so he can take it to his office. 🙂
I would make grilled salmon with grilled lemons and fresh vidalia onions from my neck of the woods!
Hi guys! Send me some Meyers and I’ll pay it forward – make a whole bunch of sweet lemon bars for the patients and staff at the hospice house where I’m a nurse. Ohh, and using the fabulous peels, a batch of limoncello for a party at my place. Y’all are invited!
Keep up the great blog – love the pics of the pups <3
How wonderful! I would make lemon poppyseed pancakes, lemon zucchini almond bread and lemon meringue pie!
As a lover of lemons but one who has never had a Meyer lemon, I suppose I’d try lemon bars and when that either fails (as most of my recipes do) or is eaten up, I’d make the easiest recipe: lemonade!
Birthday is on the 6th! What a pleasant surprise if I won this 😉
Love meyer lemon spritzers and donuts!
Gorgeous! I would enjoy making fresh, homemade lemonade, lemon tarts, lemon pudding…
Thank you for this opportunity.
I actually do not like lemon curd for unfortunate reasons, so I’d make some lemon marmalade and panna cotta. Maybe some granita too…I would make sorbet as well if I had an ice cream machine.
