Print Recipe | Rate & Review |
If you were going to go and have a fruit named after you, you could do a lot worse than the Meyer lemon. Sweeter, richer, and less acidic than a regular lemon, it bears the name of USDA scout Frank N. Meyer, who lugged the citrus back from a trip he took to Beijing in 1908. The main season for these elegant mandarin-lemon hybrids runs through March. Time enough for a few more pitchers of Meyer lemonade and this “marmalade” recipe (actually, a delicious purée) from Adour Alain Ducasse chef Joel Dennis.
