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 would make fresh lemonade and maybe lemon meringue pie.
Pie, I would make pie in honor of my father who passed away last year. Lemon pie was his favorite and whenever I see lemons I think of him. Loved your video.
Lemon curd. I just made my first batch and am now officially OBSESSED!
Lemon bars, lemon vinaigrette, lemon poppy seed muffins to start with
I would make some fresh squeezed lemonade to replenish myself when I’m cutting my grass in the summer.
I’d make your Meyer Lemon Margaritas!
I haven’t had Meyer Lemons since I left Connecticut! My mom used them to make the best Lemon Curd and Lemon Meringue pie when I was growing up. I miss her and I miss the pie! I would definitely start with her pie if I win!
Thanks for all the great photos and ideas.
I would make some lovely luscious lemon bars.
And roast a chicken.
And make a shrimp and lemon pasta.
Yup, I would.
Your video was absolutely gorgeous, Todd & Diane.
Well done!!!
Meyer lemons! I’d make my grandma’s grated apple and lemon tart – tangy, sweet, simple. And preserve the rest … Happy Spring!
I need some citrus to shake away the winter that just won’t quit in NYC. I haven’t worked much with lemons beyond hits of lemon juice here and there, so I would have my hand at preserved lemon peel and a lemon pie.
I would make lemon bars and Lemonade Swank (Artesian water, lemon, vanilla extract, and various spices ;)).
I know it’s pretty common but lemon bars just do it for me, I could eat them 24/7 with a nice herbed crust! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
My latest obsession is this boozy lemon bar recipe: I’m thinking Meyer lemon with limoncello or maybe a nice dry pinot gris.
Your garden looks like a dream; thanks for giving us a glimpse!
I would use them to make my favorite Lemon Yogurt Cake! http://www.cookingwithkale.com/2013/04/lemon-yogurt-cake.html
I would make this whole lemon tart from Smitten Kitchen (http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2009/02/whole-lemon-tart/), which is one of my favorite lemon desserts, and probably finally make a shaker lemon pie! Also sorbet… Oh, and meyers are great when sliced thin on a pizza….
I love Meyers! I am thinking of pudding and a chicken dish with Meyer lemons and apricots.
