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 start with a lemon lush then curd followed by a sauce of some sort. I have always been a lemon lover!
I just love Meyer Lemons!! First I would make a lemon souffle accompanied by roasted halibut with a meyer lemon glaze and sauce. With spring asparagus. Thank you for the lovely video.
This past weekend I made “lemon brownies” for my boss’ birthday today…with Meyer Lemons…no foolin’!
I would make lemon bars and lemon meringue pie for my sweetie and preserved lemons for me.
I really love fresh lemonade; so that’s definitely the first thing I would make with these. After that, I’d love to try these in a sweet and sour pork with lemon sauce. Ooh, and then maybe some lemon bars and definitely some lemon pepper shrimp pasta. :: drooling ::
what a great giveaway! i think i would start with some meyer lemon sour mix to be served over a healthy shot of tequila. yum!
I would make a meyer lemon pizza and I saw this amazing recipe that had Italian butter beans with meyer lemons and tarragon. Yum!
A pastry! Or roasted chicken covered with the lemons

Umm…what I would make. The possibilities are endless. I live in Northern NJ and spring just seems to not want to show up this year…it’s driving me nuts. If I won; I’d make a Meyer Lemon Tart and some Meyer Lemon Buttermilk Waffles for a nice Sunday morning breakfast. Thank you for the chance to win!
Meyer lemon cheesecake, sorbet, cake. All these are on my list. Have already made curd and marmalade. My favorite though is a meyer lemon ginger martini. They taste great on a cold night.
How lovely- I would definitely try my hand at my own lemonade.
I would make preserved lemons and lemon curd. I recently bought a couple of Meyer lemons at Whole Foods and finally got to taste them for the first time. They’re lovely and I would love to be the winner of a bunch of them!
I do love Meyer lemons, but noticed (and have been told) not to use them for certain recipes that call for zest.
But love the juice for desserts.
I want to make the Yellow Lemon Meringue Pie that is so pivotal in the movie TOAST! Great movie, btw. And your meyer lemons got me so inspired I saw if it was possible to find the recipe online – so here it is: http://blogs.laweekly.com/squidink/2011/10/katherine_tidys_very_yellow_le.php
Very Cinematic!
I’d make a big lemon meringue pie in memory of my father and his favorite springtime dessert!
