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!

Is very nice to give those lemons at least in the video,thanks.
If I get the lemons: I will make a lemonade with out water and sugar and taste out of this world.
Meyer lemon curd, ice-box pie or tarts!
I have always wanted to try preserving lemons but I think the first thing I would make would be a Meyer Lemon Semolina bundt cake that I recently saw on the blog Familystyle Food. So great you are sharing the bounty!
Lemon bars of course! What nice thing to do! Hope I win!!
Ooh–definitely preserved lemons and some lemon curd. Maybe some citrus tea, too.
I’ve never cooked with Meyer lemons and would be very excited to try them in limoncello!
We live in a small town in Indiana and it’s hard to get hands on fresh veggies and fruits here often..I would love to make lemon tart as I have never made one but I love eating them!
If I won, I would make the lemon pickle (limbu ka aachar) that my mom always made in the summer when the lemons were abundant and it would last us the whole year through.No meal was ever complete without that lemon pickle.We live in different countries and I dont see her that often.But having this pickle with my meals will bring back those beautiful memories
I would make meyer lemon bars with a pinenut shortbread crust to send to my kids in their college care package.
I’m not entering because I happily have access to a friend’s backyard Meyer lemon tree…just wanted to share the love and say that Meyer lemons are AMAZING!! 🙂
I would make preserved lemons, gelato, Greek lemon orzo soup, and many other tastes of lemony goodness.
lemon meringue pie. yum!
Oh what a lovely garden!
Would love to sit outside and have some fresh lemonade and some lemon shortbread cookies,,but it is snowing.
If only I could grow a lemon tree in WA – that would make me very happy! Maybe in my new glass greenhouse (with a little added warmth this coming winter). Can taste the curd and pound cake already! Lovely video!
Excellent give away from an excellent blog!!! Thank you sharing your love of food.
I would make Asparagus with Meyer lemon and olive oil.
My husband was in northern CA about 2 weeks ago and I was hoping that the family he was staying with would give him Meyer lemons to bring home. Unfortunately that didn’t happen. Loved your video, can’t wait to show it to my 17 yr old son who is into film. No what would I do with the Meyer lemons- put it in my hot tea, lemon bars, lemonade and chicken limon!
