Does anyone know where I can find them in central New York, near Syracuse? I've always wanted to try Meyer lemons but I couldn't find them in Wegmans!

Is Wegman's all that? is it worth a day trip from the city?

I've asked a produce manager here in Greater Hartford, CT about Meyer Lemon's and all I got was a "Never heard of them".

I'm wondering of they travel well or it's more or less a California thing.
I have to believe if they were grown in quantity, someone would be shipping them to the East Coast and elsewhere.

@jacquelinec~I don't think I'm the only one wondering where you are and why you're not sharing!?

@Grifola frondosa - Whole Foods in West Hartford carries Meyer lemons. I used them in this lemon yogurt loaf a few weeks ago with excellent results.

gsd96rk1 : I don't think Wegmans is worth a trip from the city. I hadn't heard of Wegmans until I went upstate for college and while it is pretty cool, NYC markets have a lot more to offer.

I love lemons and limes but since my kids are "all growed" and mostly out of the house, I was always finding that I was wasting lemons and limes and they went bad before I could use them. I know, I know, I could buy fewer of them, but I often have a plan that doesn't work out, as planned, and I just don't use them as quickly as I thought. My New Year's resolution was not to waste and now, I buy lemons and limes in season, like now, squeeze every drop of juice I can get out of them into ice cube trays, freeze them and store them in labeled freezer bags. I don't always have peel around when I want it, but now I always have juice and I love not wasting.

I have a Meyer lemon tree that is in a large pot I keep on the patio. The first year I had it, it produced 10 lemons (two years ago), but nothing since! What a tease! I will say, they were delicious. The tree is still alive and doing well and in my sunroom right now for winter. It actually has some blooms on it and I am keeping my fingers crossed it will produce this time : ) It does smell really good in there . . . I wish they made Meyer lemon blossom perfume.

Meyer Lemons are great in place of bottled key lime juice in my deeeelish pie recipe:

Meyer Lemon Or Key Lime

Mix 4 yolks from extra large or jumbo eggs + 1 extra large egg, with a whisk. Then thoroughly whisk in 1 can sweetened condensed milk, then whisk in 1/3 cup meyer lemon juice or bottled key lime juice.

Pour into a a graham cracker crust made with 1-1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons cinnamon, 1/4 cups packed brown sugar, 3/4 stick melted unsalted butter. Bake in a preaheated 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes. Cool throughly, then refrigerate for a few hours till chilled. Serve, topping each slice with whipped cream.
