Meyer's Lemons
Comments (12)This one's as good as the original recipes, and much quicker: Preserved Lemons in One Week From Michael Bauer, SF Chronicle food critic � Quarter as many lemons (preferably Meyer) as you want and freeze them overnight in a glass or other non-reactive bowl. � The next day, remove the lemons from the freezer and sprinkle on 1 tablespoon of kosher salt per lemon; stir to coat. � Cover and set aside at room temperature for one week, stirring once a day. � At the end of the week, the lemons will be ready to use - as a flavoring for roast chicken, a sauce for pasta, a condiment for cauliflower or broccoli and myriad other ways limited only by your imagination. QUESTION OF THE WEEK Q: I tried your recipe for preserved lemons you wrote about in a previous newsletter. Now they're in my refrigerator and I was wondering if you had recipes for using them? A (from Michael Bauer): I don't have any specific recipes, but I use them liberally as flavoring agents. They're great tossed into the cavity of a chicken or slipped under the skin before roasting. Chop them up and use them with green beans, broccoli, spinach or just about any vegetable. They're great in pasta, especially to flavor a cream sauce or as an added boost to a tomato sauce. If you have bottled red sauce, chop up one-quarter lemon and add to that sauce, you'll be amazed at how quickly it freshens and transforms it. Minced preserved lemon is also great in a vinaigrette salad dressing or stirred into mayonnaise as a quick sauce for fish....See MoreHow does your garden grow? What's planted so far?
Comments (70)Hooray, Sherry, I knew you were going to cave in and plant agarden eventually. IT comes with the canning! Jessica, I didn't have very good luck with the golden beets either, although I did get about a dozen big enough to eat. I'm wondering if they are "particular" about temperature or soil type. My Detroit dark reds were planted in the same row and did just fine. Hmmmm, you know how I am with a challenge, I might have to plant some again, I had beet "chips" at a restaurant over my birthday and of course, I just loved the darned things, they were deepfried. Sigh. Golden beet fries might make a nice color contrast.... I couldn't find any of those sungolds, and I was disappointed. Dang, I just love those things!

Comments (23)I am near montreal so I think it is zone 5a or 5b No choice to winter it inside since temps go down to -35 celcius when I bought the tree spring 2015 it was tagged as a meyer lemon but I am not convinced it is really one. I bought some meyer lemon at the grocery store to compare the ones I harvested and mine were much bigger and more tart to what I remember.. Also i always thought that the leaves on my tree were much bigger and of different shape than the ones i see in pictures or that i have seen on other meyer lemon trees... the mix in this one is mostly the mix it came with from the nursery containing a lot of perlite mixed with a bit of mix I used to prepare for my cacti ( mostly sand small gravel and a little earth from my garden) for my lime tree i made a mix of pre mixed cacti and succulents mix with added sand , bark and coarse perlite...See MoreMy Meyer lemon tree won't produce fruit
