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 preserve some of those meyer lemons so that we could experiment a little more with the tagine… and make some limoncello!
What a wonderful giveaway! We still have over a foot of snow in the woods outside our house, so no Meyer lemons are growing here!
I’d make lemonade, Lemon Shaker Pie and Meyer lemon marmalade. YUM!
Can’t get enough lemonade … would make all kinds, some with rosemary, some with lavender, some with sparkling water and raspberries, … oh, the possibilities … plus some lemon chicken, lemon icebox pie … and I’d search the web for something new & exotic, of course!
Without a doubt……….Lemon Quinoa with Kale and Goat Cheese. Thanks for sharing the lovely video.
I would make dried lemon slices for lemonade and candied lemon peels (snack candy)
I’m taking photography classes so I would have to photograph them before and after! I would make my family a delicious dinner from our vegetable and fish farmshare basket!
the menu
Torn butter lettuce and shaved vegetables salad with Meyer lemon vinagrette
Roasted white fish with shaved fennel, pear tomatoes, with a brown butter lemon juice & zest sauce
Meyer lemon and blueberry mini bundt cakes with Meyer lemon icecream and sliced strawberries
Oops- how could I forget raspberry lemonade for the kids and lemon mules for us!
When my Dad was still alive, he would send me a box of “gold” every spring. Just putting the lemons out in a basket made the house so fragrant. His favorite thing with the Meyer lemons, was a lemon
yeast bread that I made him. Very light and airy with a wonderful flavor. I would do that again.
I would make Kale Salad with Blood Orange and Meyer Lemon, Meyer Lemon Chicken Piccata and some Meyer Lemon Mojitos!
If I won, I would be using the juice to make fresh lemonade and an easy salad dressing plus some lemon bars!!
Obsessing over lemon mint iced tea. Lemon pie with mile high meringue and little browned lemon peels on top. Asian citrus pork over lemon rice and cut out cookies with lemon glaze for my granddaughters to decorate.
First thing is my newest obsession, lemon, mint iced tea. Next it would have to be a lemon pie with meringue a mile high and my Asian citrus pork loin over lemon rice. Cut out cookies for my granddaughters with icing made from fresh lemon juice and powdered sugar. There’s more but, I have to keep some secrets. Paleeeeeeze let me win, it’s been a long winter in CoMo!
I made a wonderful pie with Meyer Lemons once. I think this time I’d made it again or maybe a lemon tart.
Lemon bars for my oldest daughter and lemon sorbet for the younger girls!!
I would make curd, a pie, maybe some lemon bars. I love lemon zest with fresh herbs and olive oil over roasted salmon. A box of lemons would be welcome her in freezing cold Wisconsin.
