Meyer Lemons. Somewhat of a cross between a lemon and a mandarin. Sweet and acidic with a nice thin aromatic skin. This weekend I spun up a sorbetto with just the right amount of vodka to give it a bit more body.
I squeezed the last kilo of juice and set it aside in the freezer to save it for a special flavor. Dark Chocolate with Meyer Lemon. I will be doing this in the next week or two. I kinda like to wait until the fruit is out of season, then pull out the special little frozen bag of squeezed juice and make something with it. It brings back the fresh memories all over again and allows us to continue our obsession with it one last time. It is our final farewell until the next season. Hmmmm…A nice rich dark chocolate that has the fresh zesty kick of a Meyer Lemon. How sweet it is.
