The farmer’s market can start to get a bit boring in the winter with root vegetables and apples taking the place of brightly colored berries and stone fruits, so these pretty looking Meyer lemons really stood out while I was there last weekend. I snapped and instagrammed this picture and had a few people ask me what you can make using them.
I wasn’t totally sure, so I did a little research; it turns out that while they are fantastic in drinks (my favorite cocktail, the French 75, would be amazing with a meyer lemon), there are also quite a few tasty desserts and savory items that benefit from the citrus, which is thought to be a cross between a traditional lemon and either a mandarin or common orange. Here are a few of the most interesting recipes I came across:
