Best Ways to Use Meyer Lemons

Question

Have lots of Meyer lemons -what are great uses for them

Lynn Clark · Accepted Answer

Hi Naline - Any of the new recipes inspired by our travels to the Amalfi Coast would be great using Meyer lemons. The Meyer lemon is much closer to the type of lemon grown in the Amalfi region than typical supermarket lemons. You can find the story and recipes here.  Another great use would be to make jars of preserved lemons and curd. If you're up for it, I'd do some actual canning and make multiple jars of both that can keep indefinitely. You can use the preserved lemons to make a tangia.
Additionally, you could make sorbet, lemonade, chutney or marmalade (again, I'd make multiple jars and give away to lucky friends), make meyer lemon vodka by steeping meyer lemon peel in vodka, any lemon cake recipe...the options are basically endless if you're willing to commit to a lot of lemon-y dishes and desserts for a while! Lucky you! Best, Lynn C.
