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.

About the Author – Steven Biggs

Bored of rows? Try a patchwork of lettuce. A focal point of edible flowers. A perennial bed edged with edible plants. When it comes to irresistible food gardens, horticulturist Steven Biggs sees the whole yard as a canvas—with a palette of veg, fruit, herbs, and edible flowers. With over 25 years in the horticulture sector, he’s worked as a college instructor, in greenhouse and nursery production, plant propagation, biological controls, and horticultural supplies. But his passion is to help people get creative with their home gardens. To think outside the box. To tailor the garden to what they love. That might be intrigue, form, texture, unusual ingredients, or a long harvest window. Maybe it’s as a creative outlet. If he’s not in his garden, you’ll catch him recording his award-winning Food Garden Life podcast, writing gardening books and articles, and helping home gardeners think outside the box in one of his online classes.
