Make Lemon Loaf.  MEYER Lemon Loaf, that is.

meyerlemonloaf00322These fruits grow easily in California, and they’ve been used in my family for generations, for everything from martinis to crab feasts.  This year my mom is bringing Meyer lemons from her tree, which is heavy with its own ornaments – dozens of ripe, bright yellow fruits that can be picked now or kept on the branch for months to come.  The are practically indestructible, and the sweetness inside is always a wonderful discovery.

Thanks to the Barmy Baker, for this recipe, I’ll be trying this year.   Maybe I”ll make some Meyer Lemon marmalade to go with it, if the other ten prep items on my menu don’t take me down.  Wish me luck!  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
