How to Use Meyer Lemons

4. Meyer Lemon Sorbet or Granita

Refreshing and easy - Meyer lemon sorbet can be ready in a snap if you have an ice cream maker, and a few hours in any freezer. Bring a cup of sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil, simmer until the mixture thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Set aside and let cool. Meanwhile, juice enough Meyer lemons for 4 cups of juice. Add enough sugar syrup to sweeten to taste (make it a little bit sweeter than you like it, since freezing dulls the sweetness. Freeze according to manufacturer's instructions in an ice cream maker for sorbet or pour into a shallow pan and freeze, stirring every few hours, for granita.

5. Meyer Lemon Fish

The bright sweetness of Meyer lemons makes them a great match for fish. Bake fish with thin slices of Meyer lemon on top or simply serve a few wedges for squirting alongside your favorite baked, broiled, steamed, or grilled fish.

6. Meyer Lemon Cocktails

To use Meyer lemon juice in place of regular lemon juice in your favorite cocktail (sidecar, lemon drop), be sure to reduce the amount of sugar or sweet liqueur to balance out the cocktail and highlight the unique flavor of Meyer lemons.
