Did he report on its taste?<br /><br />Hello Rachel,<br />Yes, it IS nice having your own citrus tree, but notice I just did a close-up. Because the Meyer lemon tree's actual size would, uhm, underwhelm you. I can better call it a large plant.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03437876558716264896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285944574753141681.post-78088208012333518062011-03-01T03:44:33.236+01:002011-03-01T03:44:33.236+01:00LOVE lemon curd.

It's a large shrub, makes fruit that is only edible after cooked, in marmalades, etc, but not as prolific as a real quince. The flowers are the main interest. So glad you'll use up those yolks in time and that you love lemon! Be careful, you will have to tweak things a bit, at least use one whole egg to have some white otherwise only yolks may be too thick, don't you think? Eyeball and taste--and let me know how it turns out!<br /><br />Hello Susan,<br />I don't have to blitz the sugar. I just put those instructions in for anyone in places where castor sugar is harder to find, that way they avoid having to hunt for it. The recipe's worth finding lemons for, if you are or know a lemon-lover.<br /><br />Go Delana! <br />Food processors are awful nice to have around, and even some of the inexpensive ones do the trick quite nicely. A Meyer lemon, they say, is a cross between a lemon and a mandarin, originally from China. The color when fully ripe has a slight orangish tinge, but it's the scent that is so memorably intense. It's less acid too, but yeah, really that incredible fragrance slays me, especially when being picked off the tree. I brought just three for a friend, and the car was just suffused with this wonderful smell! Same thing when I brought these lemon bars to a neighbor...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03437876558716264896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285944574753141681.post-29802733929116650802011-02-28T11:32:23.168+01:002011-02-28T11:32:23.168+01:00okay, that does it!

I saw a recipe on another site last week that also needs a food processor and I'm going straight to Amazon to buy one. One of those tools I hate living without. The pictures are beautiful. I just can't master food photos. Can you tell me what is the difference between a Meyer lemon and regular lemons.Delana@dujourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319475424591739125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285944574753141681.post-54192935156162544202011-02-28T10:34:43.591+01:002011-02-28T10:34:43.591+01:00I saw this recipe on DL and have been meaning to m...I saw this recipe on DL and have been meaning to make it too, just haven't got round to it yet (and live too far north to have my own lemons to spur me on). BTW, why are you blitzing the sugar? Ordinary French sucre en poudre is what I would call castor sugar, and not the coarser granulated sugar which is regular sugar in the UK and Australia.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285944574753141681.post-72438596874456999962011-02-28T07:51:17.498+01:002011-02-28T07:51:17.498+01:00Tammy,

What is the coral bud? <br />And this was timed perfectly for me for two reasons: I made a coconut cake with loads of egg whites and need something to do with the yolks (thanks!) and I love lemon curd and lemon bars and really just about anything lemon so I'll be making this version. <br />Your garden is gorgeous.<br />aidan xAidanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16518167933001080635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285944574753141681.post-70377649539354406402011-02-27T21:39:29.652+01:002011-02-27T21:39:29.652+01:00Hope you are feeling better soon.

I shouldn't have much trouble finding lemons this time of year, and my boy LOVES lemon. Perhaps we'll give it a try.Rosehttp://www.thelaughingmonkey.comnoreply@blogger.com
