    Those Meyer lemons look great. I want to find some and do some baking with them. Are you going to make something with these?

    Great photo, Carol! I love Meyer Lemons so much. I wish I could still find them around here; but I haven't been able to so far. I'm going to put some away next year like you do. Happy WW! Candace

    Do you eat them straight? My husband does, but even with the Meyer variety, I just can't bring myself to do it. :)

    I wonder if these may have cross pollinated with a neighbors orange tree.

    I've never even heard of a Meyer lemon. I guess that's why my blog isn't a cooking blog!

    I love Meyer lemon, it has the taste between a lemon and mandarin, great for desserts to give some extra sweetness.

    I've seen these trees being sold in nurseries, but didn't know their mix of lemon & mandarin oranges. Every cook should have a lemon tree!

    Meyer lemons are interesting (and tasty) - I like how they look a bit like grapefruit :)

    That looks beautiful! I have a question for you. Why is that the oranges in America are so hard to peal while the Indian oranges are so easy to do so? is it because they are from different climate?

    I have never had one and am wondering if Whole Foods or TJ's might have them. Next time I'm at either store I'm going to have a look.

    I don't think I have ever seen a meyer lemon. nice pic of one too!

    They're sweeter, or less pucker than regular lemons, and a softer rind. Not bitter at all. yep, cross between a mandarin and a lemon. I find the same flavor if you squeeze a clementine in with regular lemon juice. I think they are grown mostly in California. I tried growing one here in New York, but no luck. All I got after a few years was two shriveled, dried sad ones, not even enough for a martini!

    Thanks for the nice comments, Happy Wordless Wednesday!

    I never had a Meyer lemon but I keep reading about them. The other day, I found out what they are and now I have your photo to inspire me to get some. I don't remember seeing any in the stores but then, I was not looking for them.

    A friend sent me a big bag full of Meyer Lemons this spring and I loved them. Before I went on my trip I squeezed the juice out of the ones I had left and froze it in an ice cube trays for future use.

    I was reading your comment, I have never seen these lemons in California. I should check this out maybe in the farmers market.

    We've finally pulled the last lemons off the tree in our yard. I plan to make the Engagement Chicken recipe they featured on Martha Stewart a few weeks ago. Yum!
