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!

Sorbet!
Hi Todd and Diane! I’d made fresh meyer lemon fettuccine with creamy avocado and crispy bacon, serve it with a glass of sparkling meyer lemonade and finish it off with a meyer lemon granita.
I would make the most lovely lemon curd to put on my toast, scones or whatever. I LOVE it! The trick to relishing it would be to can it in small sized jars. Nummmmy
Hope to win..
Mmm, I would make curd. And lemon rosemary scones (my favorite).
Thank you. Moroccan preserved lemons is the first thing that comes to my mind!
When White on Rice gives you Meyer Lemons make: Marmalade and lemon curd. I’m wondering how a Key Lime pie would be made with Meyers? Yummmmmmmmmmm. I might even try to plant some seeds.
Definitely lemon curd, lemon bars, and a lemon tart! They’d be divine in anything!

So many things. Lemon curd for sure, to go with lemon bars. And maybe a lemon cake. Oh, and some lemon tarts.
I’m a preserver, so I would like to make Meyer lemon strawberry marmalade. And I have a friend who get enough of Meyer lemon curd.
Beautiful video! I would make a batch of preserved meyer lemons. Or perhaps some meyer lemon infused vodka 🙂
I have the most amazing Meyer Lemon Bread recipe! The recipe makes a double batch…one for now & one for later. Oh, taste buds are tingling just thinking about it!
It would definitely have to make lemon curd and lemon bars!
So generous of you! I’d make lemon bars, lemon tarts, all sorts of seafood with splashes of lemon juice, lemon popsicles, lemon sorbet, lemonade, the possibilities are endless!
What a nice thing to do for one lucky reader and such fun to read other people’s ideas. First thing I would do is slice one and give a section to my 3yr old son, who for some reason, loves to lick lemons. His reaction is adorable and he genuinely enjoys the tart charge he gets. Then it would be a small batch of preserved lemons for the savory and a lemon poppyseed cake to enjoy the sweet. I would probably use the remnants for lemon water for a few days enjoying that I was using the fruit completely and that it came from such a nice place!
Cocktails! I’ve been waist-deep in learning about technique, ingredients and history lately. Maybe some infusions too, so that flavor will last for more than a fleeting moment.
