Meyer Lemon Sorbet Recipe

May 1

Meyer Lemon Zest is a Big Part of this Sorbet

If you are growing a Meyer lemon tree and are wondering what to make, here’s a great way to enjoy the unique flavour of Meyer lemons: Meyer Lemon Sorbet.

I included this family favourite in my book Grow Lemons Where You Think You Can’t: We make it using our own homegrown lemons.

This recipe uses both the juice and the fragrant zest.

If you’re growing other citrus, you can use this same recipe to make your own sorbet. For sweeter citrus, you might want to use a bit less sugar. For other citrus such as yuzu, you might add a bit more sugar.

Find out more about yuzu, a fragrant citrus that’s a great container plant for a home garden.
