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!

Beautiful spring video…and I’m dreaming of lemon sorbet
Thank you for the video of your lovely garden. We are still wearing down coats in NYC and could use a bit of California here. I will make a Meyer lemon tart, pound cake with lemon glaze and my 4 year old loves Meyer lemonade!
Lemon curd, lemon pie, lemon bars, lemonade…yum!
Definitely lemon bars, but I LOVE all lemon desserts so I would look for new recipes to try as well. Maybe try again to make Lemon Sticky Rolls: http://chocolate-coveredlove.blogspot.com/2013/03/lemon-sticky-rolls.html . And Lemonade for sure!
I recently discovered meyer lemons and I am in love! I had a meyer lemon pound cake at a cafe and savored every bite! I asked to see a meyer lemon and I couldn’t believe the fragrant aroma from an unpeeled lemon! I have not been able to find them for sale in Indiana. If I received a box from you, I would make the cake, cookies, lemonade, marinade and freeze some juice and grated peel to use throughout the year! What a special treat these little fruits are!!
So generous! I’d make some lemon and garlic pasta followed up with my Grammy’s lemon bars. I’d also make a batch of madeleines zinged up with lemon zest and juice.
Meyer Lemon Gimlet; classic lemon roast chicken; risotto with meyer lemon, mascarpone, and parm; pizza with lemons, goat cheese, and rosemary! YUM!!!
How fortunate you are to have them in your yard!
I would try making some kind of adult lemonade!
I would make limoncello and marmalade. And lots of it!
Oh how I love Meyer Lemons ..I’ve been nursing and protecting my little tree through the Seattle winter and if I’m lucky I’ll have 2 or 3 lemons this summer ! Your gift would be a treasure , I would make Lemon Mascarpone Macarons, lemon buttermilk pudding , lemon oregano chicken and your Meyer Lemon Pie with espresso ganache !
I would try making some kind of adult lemonade! 😉
meyer lemon & arugula pesto flatbread and some sort of lemony quinoa with roasted tomatoes –
come on spring!
Lemon bars for days!
My gf and I love Meyer lemons. Lemon bars, lemon cookies, and maybe even some curd (which we’ve never made). Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
What a lovely and generous giveaway! If I had a box of those beauties, I would make lemon bars, lemon blueberry pound cake and goodness knows what else. So many possibilities! Thank you for the chance to win.
I am obsessed with meyer lemons – I put lemon in everything and it’s 10 times better with meyer lemons. Lemon kale salad, lemon vinaigrette, lemon pound cake, lemon poppyseed pancakes, preserved lemons.
