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!

Meyer lemons’ delicate flavor would be well complimented in The Kitchn’s Spaghetti with Mascarpone, Spinach, Meyer Lemon, and Hazelnuts. And for dessert, Meyer Lemon Crème Brulée! YUM.
I’d love to make a lovely lemon tart
Meyer lemons are so delicate, so we need not to cover up their flavor with heavy seasonings. The Kitchn’s Spaghetti with Mascarpone, Meyer Lemon, Spinach, and Hazelnuts. YUM! And for dessert, a simple Meyer Lemon Crème Brulée.
Meyer lemons are wonderful but not so readily available. I’d love to take my best lemon bars to a delightful new level and share them with best friends!
I miss having a lemon tree in the backyard, it’s been a while since I’ve had that luxury! I’d make preserved lemons of course (which are delicious in a lemon aioli recipe I have for grilled fish), and my favourite Citrus Pistachio Pound Cake. I also have a Classic Lemon Cheesecake recipe to try 🙂 I heart lemons!
I’m not sure what I’d make…I think a tart would definitely be good…or some sorbet…but I do know that some lovely Meyer lemons would make me happy – so springy!
Lemon curd, lemon bars, and lemon olive oil cake!
The only two reasons I’d love to own a home are captured in your video: being able to have fruit trees (especially citrus) and have dogs, with space for them to run around 🙂 Such a beautiful video. If I won the giveaway, I’d make an Indian-inspired lemon curd, some lemon oil and pickles. Lots of pickles.
I would make lemon cheesecake.
I would make lemon risotto and lemon raspberry bars
Love Meyer lemons! They are hard to come by here. I would make pound cake, marmalade and lemon curd. Maybe some limoncello!
I love to use Alton Brown’s Recipe to make Lemoncello. If I won I’d make a batch of Lemoncello with them. MMmm- I sure hope I win! Thanks!
Oh I could smell them when I watched your video. Your garden is so beautiful and love you sweet dog. I have used Meyer Lemons just once from my grocery and could see why everyone loves them so much. They really outshine a regular lemon. I would make a lemon meringue pie, lemon curd, and use them in pasta dishes. What a nice thing for ya’ll to do. Happy Spring!
I would love to make some sorbet and a curd so I can savor the lemon-y goodness for even longer. But also make some sort of tart to share with friends after a great sprint dinner party. Yum!
lemon curd! lemon meringue pie! lemon bars!!
I’ve recently found a citrus pound cake recipe which would be perfect with Meyer lemons and it’s time to make my limoncello again….which is oh so much better with Meyer lemons. Thanks for this opportunity.
