Have a bunch that are about to be ripe on my tree. What are your favorite things to do with them?

besides adding the juice and cutting some up to add to the side of a dish like a fish, there isnt much i do with lemons.
might sound lame but i like squeezing lemons in water if i have extras.

Lemon Meringue Pie
Lemon bars
Every year we say we are going to make and jar lemon curd, but never have. Maybe this year.

Are Meyer Lemons good for those uses as well? I find they have a slightly different taste than the conventional lemons you usually find in stores.

larger and less acidic. I think there may have been an orange behind the woodpile somewhere in their hybridization.

Lemon Icebox Pie
1 small can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 graham cracker crust
1 small tub Cool Whip
Mix everything together until smooth and pour into pie crust. Refrigerate until set about 1 hour.
Easy as pie!
We also juice the lemons and freeze them in 1 cup portions, put them in zip lock bags to use for the rest of the year.
If you have a lemon tree an electric juicer is a must.

Meyer Lemon-Buttermilk ice cream
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recipe?
Ingredients:
*2 cups cream (I use regular whipping cream, not heavy whipping cream due to the thickness of the buttermilk)
*1 cup buttermilk
*1/2 cup Meyer Lemon juice
*1/2 cup milk (I use 2%)
*1 tsp vanilla
*1 1/4 cups sugar
Heat the sugar and lemon juice to make a syrup.
After the syrup cools to room temperature add the milk, vanilla, and buttermilk. Make sure all the ingredients are incorporated nicely.
Add the cream. Stir together with the other ingredients.
Pour into an ice cream maker. I have an electric Cuisineart that works great.
Makes 1 quart.
ETA: The reason I heat the sugar and lemon juice into a syrup is strictly for texture. Buttermilk can give ice cream a somewhat chalky texture. I found through trial and error with this ice cream that making the syrup out of the sugar and lemon juice, rather than just dissolving the sugar into the lemon juice, gives the ice cream a smoother texture.

That Life is a real a-hole giving you all those.

The zest is great to use. I use the juices in dressings, seafood and pork dishes. Would be good on chicken as well. I just don't cook much chicken. I use them on tea a lot.
Good in a buerre blanc sauce too.

I have been picking a few for the last week or so. Hundred or so more to go.
Lemon Pizza. I made this the other night with a homemade dough but I use Whole Foods dough as well. It's a good one.
Heat pizza stone on grill and get dough ready on pizza peel.
Layer smoked buffalo mozzarella in very thin slices over dough. Cut one Meyer lemon in half the slice paper thin halves and layer around pizza about a dozen or so slices, skin and all. Drizzle just a bit of good olive oil on and break a few basil leaves across the top, tucking a bit under the lemons. Nice pinch of flaky sea salt and put on grill until blistered. Slice, smell and eat.
End of story.
