After some time searching, this recipe came up and I'm glad I tried it! Very, very tasty. Thank you!

That would make a fine lemon sauce for the Signal Hill Gingerbread cake Those lemons look good and it actually looks like it is glowing.

Erik- Smelled distinctly mandarine, tasted unusually just like a meyer. I am no botanist, but those were no ordinary lemons. Pat- no, no chemical leavening is used.

I can't wait to try it. Unfortunately, I will have to wait until July since I plucked my last Meyer on Sunday. It was a sad day indeed. I "inhereted" this tree when we bought this house four years ago. I had always suspected it was a Meyer. Last week we were doing some major weeding under it and discovered a tag attached to the trunk stating it is a "registered Meyer". So now I know. I have a pretty brown thumb when it comes to gardening, but this plucky little bush was doing just great with just some water and a few fertilizer spikes. Usually there are lemons on it all year, but this winter's frigid weather (we had 32 degrees) ruined them...they got all soft and mushy. Right now there are tons of new blossoms, lots of little honeybees working their magic, and a great new recipe to try! Thank you for a wonderful post and recipe. I can’t wait to try it.

Is there any chance this was another variety? You know, the pith looks awfully thick to be from a Meyer Lemon…which have notoriously thin skins (hence the lack of commercial shipping volume.)

It's conducted by two Stanford business school students. The interview includes insight on how he and WP run the restaurant business for the Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group. http://iinnovate.blogspot.com/2007/04/tom-kaplan-senior-managing-partner-of.html If you like it, feel free to spread the word.

Russell called it a "guacamole" tree, and we watched squirrels feasting on the fruits all day. It was the same thing, they couldn't give the avocado's away fast enough, they scattered the yard, but the squirrels must have helped a bit, because they were really fat!

She taunted me by describing Meyer lemons as something people can hardly give away fast enough--you know, like zucchini. While I love our Seattle and Portland farmers markets, I am amazed and thrilled every time I see photos of farmers markets selling lemons, oranges, and avocados.
