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 a pitcher of lemonade, lemon curd, lemon bars and freeze the unused juice/zest ( if there’s any leftover!)
I know this is naughty but all I can think about when I look at those gorgeous lemons is…a Lemon Martini!! YUM!!
I’ve started putting half a meyer lemon in my green smoothies. It gives them a great sweet and sour kick. That’s my favorite part about meyers–they are both sweet and sour at the same time. In addition to putting them in my smoothies I would make curd and lemon bars. Thanks so much for your willingness to share the bounty. That’s what life is all about, right?
Marmalade and lemonade!
I am not sure if I’m including the links correctly for facebook, but I shared this post on my facebook and twitter feed:

Something tells me I don’t know what I’m doing 🙂
Definitely a meyer lemonade sparkler… among many other things!
I have been dying to make preserved lemons!
Lemon marmalade, lemon pie…

I use lemons in many different recipes…probably most commonly I use it in salad dressings, Chicken Piccata, and Lemon Chicken Orzo soup. There is nothing better than fresh produce from the garden!
First, I would freeze some zest and juice to have for the summer months! Then, I think, lemon scones. And lots of lemon in my daily green juices!
My favorite thing to make with meyer lemons is a spicy chutney to spread on anything edible 🙂 and I’ve been dying to make a lemon poundcake with meyer lemons. I live in northern AZ and while citrus is huge down in the valley (Phoenix) it’s just too cold for meyer lemons up north – so I stock up when I’m on the road and find them. I’m wondering if I might be able to grow a meyer lemon tree in my house in a large pot? Thoughts? Thanks for sharing the meyer lemon goodness 🙂
My husband and I make lemon drinks every day, using meyer lemons, stevia, and a splash of pomegranate juice..so good! Also keep a steady batch of the salad dressing on hand 🙂 I seriously tell everyone @ meyer lemons!
I would definitely make lemon curd to fill lemon tarts, a lemon cake and just to eat off my spoon 🙂
Ever since I first found your blog a few years ago and read about your wonderful citrus garden I have dreamed of one day living in southern California. Meyer lemon trees don’t grow very well in Canada.
I would make a lovely spring gnocchi with chevre, asparagus and meyer lemon.
