Meyer Lemons are springing up at Sweet Meadow. As we watch our citrus fruits sprout, we are reminded of certain seasonal treats that seldom appear during the chilly days of winter; freshly squeezed lemonade, sunny afternoons tending our gardens and blushing brides holding springtime bouquets such as Lily of the Valley. Yes, we may be jumping the gun on springtime activities, but events require pre-season planning. With spring gatherings in mind, we would like to offer a new perspective to your next dessert table- one that involves loads of Meyer lemons. Instead of baking the same old vanilla cake topped with the same old bride and groom figurines, how about baking multiple seasonal pies? Your guests are sure to love having a variety of flavors to choose from, especially flavors found in local gardens. If you’re having second thoughts, try this Lemon Meringue Pie recipe. We think your tastebuds will agree.
