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 tweeted about this giveaway, too. Thanks so much, D + T. y’all are the best!
PS – when are you coming back to Nashville? you must return for a visit! 🙂 xo
oh, what a generous giveaway! I would most definitely make lemon curd and then make some shortbread crust tartlettes with the curd. sponge caked soaked in lemon simple syrup! lemon meringe pie, a favorite! lemon creme brulee! second to mint/chocolate lemon is my absolute favorite flavor.
First I’d slice 1 into wedges, sprinkle 1 wedge with salt & enjoy it with a glass of iced tea garnished with fresh mint & flavored with a squeeze of 1 wedge. The rest of the wedges would be put in fridge for repeat of same treats. Then I’d sit back & plan making roast lamb rubbed with lemon recipe, accompanied with Greek style potatoes & tomatoes & lemon. While lamb roasts, the rest of the lemons calls for cookbook reading to use more Meyers. In my hand would be lemon wedge squeezed into a vermouth & tonic water on rocks.
I left my Meyer lemon tree in CA almost 20 years ago. Put a lemon tree in S. Arizona. Not the same. I’d make Lemon Snow Bars and Lemon chicken over garlic lemon pasta. Lemoncello sounds good too.

I love Meyer Lemons!! If I won I would bake as many goodies as I possibly could.
Lemon curd and lemon bars.
Lemon curd!! I love that stuff! Especially on crepes. 🙂
lemon marmalade, lemonade, and limoncello, lemons are such a wonderful fruit!
So nice. I think I’d make lemon curd to last the year . . . it does freeze, doesn’t it? 🙂 Lemon bundt cake with lemon glaze sounds great too.
I would make some Meyer Lemon Marmalade, a Meyer Lemon Sour Cream Pie and a Lemon Bread with a Lemon-Sugar Glaze. I would try to save some for Lemon-Basil Vinaigrette to have with a fresh garden salad.
Lemon bars, Chicken Francese and lemon curd. Thanks for a chance to win the lemons.
Not sure if my submission went through.
Thanks for sharing!
I’d make two things straightaway: lemon ginger cupcakes and mint lemonade with gin. They’re both my own recipes that I created last time I had some meyer lemons on hand.
I have never made lemon tart or lemon pie… so I would like to try to make it if I get a lot of lemons…
Lemon poppy seed pound cake:)
I would make lemonade, lemon bars, lemon curd and lemon granita!
