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 give some to my husband so that he can make another batch of homemade soda. Then I’d start making some lemon pasta, try my hand at lemon curd/lemon bars…the possibilities are endless!
Make Meyer Lemon Marmalade (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Meyer-Lemon-Marmalade-102746).
I have had dreams about a lemon ricotta tart pulsing through my mind for weeks now – I think these would do just dandy! Lovely video as well you guys. Stunning ,as always.
I would make the Lemon Cream Tart from Tartine baking book. Smooth, creamy, divine.
lemon cheesecake
I would make Meyer lemon Madelines, lemonade, bundt cakes…
What a beautiful giveaway! Thank you for your kindness.
Lemon bars for sure! They are a family favorite during the Spring season. Oh, and I’d have to make lemon-rosemary muffins with a light lemon glaze. And probably lemon ice cream or sorbet, if there was enough juice left over.
And don’t forget…lemon castella cake!!! The dream doesn’t end…
Never tried Meyer Lemon before! Maybe it’s a good ingredient for marmalade! Lemon yogurt…lemon madeleine…chicken with lemon glaze…followed by lemon dreams! Hey, WAKE UP!!!
Meyer Lemons?! I’d make meyer lemon crème brulee!
Lemon tarts! And lemony rice. Lemon sorbet. Also cocktails with grand marnier!
I would make another Meyer lemon cheesecake. Made one for Easter. It is almost gone!
Yum! Gosh, I love lemons and all the things you can do with them. I would probably make lemon cheesecake, vietnamese yogurt with candied lemon peels, lots of wonderful lemonade, and try to figure out how to incorporate some of it into fresh pasta…oh gosh, now I’m hungry! 🙂
How I miss Meyer Lemons! Since we left the west coast, I’d treat ourselves to one or two meyer lemons per year, when I’m lucky and they show up at our local co-op. Definitively lemon pound cake! I’d also like to try making preserved lemons using Jerusalem’s recipe. Thank you for sharing 🙂
I would make curd, juice all of them. Candy the peel and most importantly, SHOW my husband WHY we need a Meyer lemon tree;)
Oh my – preserved lemons, lemon curd, lemon cake, lemon bars and maybe a drink or two.
