Meyer lemon (Citrus × meyeri) is a citrus fruit, native to China, thought to be a cross between a true lemon and a mandarin orange or sweet orange. These lemons are available from November through May in specialty produce markets and some supermarkets. Can't wait? Meyer marmalade...bottled availability.
Meyer lemon was introduced to the United States in 1908, popular as a food item in the United States after being rediscovered by chefs during the California Cuisine revolution.
We visited Petaluma sometime earlier and got ourselves some California sunshine in a jar. This marmalade is made from state-grown Meyer lemons, cane sugar, and pure water - prepared long enough to draw the natural pectin from the fruit.
Pastel purple soft fluffy loaf into slices...
and slathering marmalade ...
A sprightly lemon flavor, well balanced with sweetness and light in texture.
It's tea time! More toasts, please! :)

Well thank you for the education. I always just assumed meyer lemons tasted just like lemons. I didn't know they had an orangey twist to them! That marmalade looks fabulous.

ReplyDeleteoh... wow...taro bread ? I'm completely drooling here
ReplyDeleteIts a good color contrast.. yellow and purple. I think this citrus spread should do well on hot scones. And a cup of freshly brewed darjerling tea!

My friend once gave me a loaf of taro bread with taro paste swirls inside. It was yummy! And my youngest uncle has a Meyer lemon tree. I love it!
ReplyDeleteNice pastel colour from the taro bread...Haven't eaten a taro toast before though.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen taro bread before but have had purple taro ice-cream, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
