Okay. I admit to being a Meyer lemon freak. I mean. I even have my very own Meyer lemon tree.

The only thing is, in Arkansas I can’t grow it outside year round. So…my typical harvest is between 1 to 3 lemons. Not exactly enough to do much, huh? Oh well, it gives me joy to watch them grow. For months. And months. And months.Y’all, it takes a lot of patience to birth a Meyer lemon.

This sweet winter citrus, native to China, is thought to be a cross between a regular lemon and a mandarin orange. Meyer lemons are smaller and more round than regular lemons, with smoother, thin, deep yellow to orange skin, and dark yellow pulp. Many people like to preserve them for uses in Moroccan cuisine.
