There was a guy who had a fruit tree and it had lemons and peaches on it and he offered me a piece. I took a lemon but didn't realize there were lemons on the tree, I thought I was getting a peach. But I ended up eat the lemon out of hand like an orange and was surprised that it wasn't too tart to eat. The guy told me it was a Meyer lemon. I told him I had a recipe for fried Meyer lemon slices. Very strange dream. Look what reading this newsgroup does to one. :-) Kate |

What are really nice are pancakes (not American ones, more like crepes) with a sprinkling, just a light sprinkling of sugar and a very generous squeeze of lemon juice. Oh be a devil. Use half a lemon at least per pancake. Roll into a cylinder and eat. |

Thanks for your response, Om. The original thread implied these fried lemon slices were the bee's knees or the duck's nuts, or whatever. So I was curious about this most obvious element of the recipe that wasn't covered adequately for a neophyte. >Just try it both ways and see how you like it? P.S. Thanks too, to Peter H. for replying re possums in Kiwiland. Can't say I've heard of them being eaten lately here in Oz either, but I'm sure the Aboriginees used them. (There's a traditional cooking method for "opossum" given on p.217 of BENNETT, George (1860) "Gatherings of a Naturalist in Australasia: Being Observations Principally on the Animal and Vegetable Productions of New South Wales, New Zealand and Some of the Austral Islands.") And it seems there's a market for the meat in Asia: <http://home.vicnet.net.au/~animals/alibvic/exploit.htm> Cheers, Phred. -- LID |

Also check my blog recipe sidebar ... lemon curd freezes very well . >>I had fried Meyer lemon slices as part of a fritto misto years ago on my >>birthday (June, so not really Meyer season here in my opinion) at Oliveto >>in Oakland.

I would love to get out of the house and schmooze with the usual suspects. I am very busy the third weekend (till noon Sunday anyway... is that President's Weekend?) and may volunteer for something food-related that would eat the fourth, but keep me posted!

Fried Meyer lemon slices
THe Brazilian babysitter in Oakland served Meyer lemon cachaca at a
party (not to the children, natch!) I hope I'm remembering the name of the Brazilian cocktail correctly. Someone will surely chastize me if I'm wrong. Whatever is the Brazilian national drink with their clear liquour - the babysitter's daughter made it with Meyer Lemons. I didn't taste - it was mid-afternoon, I was there alone with my two toddlers, and sipping strong alcohol just didn't seem like a good idea. Leila |

I thought you were going to post a recipe for "Lemon Dream", > which sounds a lot better than fried lemons to me... > > -- > Jani in WA (S'mee) > ~ mom, Trollop, novice cook ~ Okay, here's some Lemon Dream Recipes. I have not tried any of these. Kate LEMON CREAM DREAM 20 Girl Scout Lemon Cremes, finely crushed 2 T. butter, melted 1 pkg. lemon instant lemon (3 1/2 oz.) 2 c. milk 8 oz. cream cheese, softened 2 T. powdered sugar 8 oz. whipped cream 1 pt. fresh strawberries 4 oz. fresh blueberries Combine the first two ingredients and press into a 9" pie pan. Prepare pudding with milk according to package directions. Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar together. Add pudding to cream cheese mixture; fold whipped topping into pudding mixture. Layer mixture and fresh fruit into prepared cookie pastry shell. Garnish with fresh fruit. Chill until serving. Serves 6. LEMON DREAM 8 oz. lemon yogurt 1/2 banana (optional) 1 tsp. lemon juice 1 scoop Simply Soy Soy Protein Shake, Vanilla Burst 6 oz. water ½ cup crushed ice Blend above ingredients in blender or food processor until smooth and creamy. Serves 1. LEMON DREAM BARS Base: 1/3 cup butter 1 cup flour 2 tablespoons sugar Combine ingredients to make coarse crumbs. Pat firmly into ungreased 9"x9" cake pan. Bake in 350F oven for 15-20 minutes until set but not brown. Topping: 2 beaten eggs 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar 3/4 cup angel flake coconut 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon vanilla Combine ingredients and spread over cooked base. Return to oven and bake 25-30 minutes. Top immediately with icing. Cool 15 minutes and cut into bars. Icing: 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind 1 cup sifted icing sugar 2 tablespoons lemon juice Mix together and spread over hot bars. LEMON DREAM BARS 2/3 cup butter 2 cups flour 4 Tbsp. sugar 4 beaten eggs 1 tsp. vanilla 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1 cup chopped nuts 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. baking powder Cut butter into sifted flour. Add sugar with pastry blender. Press mixture firmly into ungreased cake pan. Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes until set, but not brown. Combine eggs and vanilla in mixing bowl; add brown sugar, nuts, salt, and baking powder. Mix well and spread on partially baked dough. Bake again at 350F for 25 minutes. Frost while hot. Cool and cut into bars. Lemon Frosting: 4 tsp. grated lemon rind 4 Tbsp. lemon juice 1 cup powdered sugar Combine and mix until smooth. Spread on bars while they are still hot. LEMON DREAM CAKE 1 pkg. lemon cake mix (pudding in the mix is richer) 2 8-oz. containers lemon yogurt (blended type if possible) 1 8-oz. container of Cool Whip (thawed) Bake cake in any form you wish. (I make 2 9" layers - the original recipe said to use only half the batter and bake in a loaf pan, then use the remaining batter to make cupcakes. Slice loaf cake horizontally into 3rds, if you go this route.) Let cake cool completely on wire rack. Fold yogurt into thawed Cool Whip. Frost generously and use tines of fork to form wavy lines. Refrigerate if not serving right away. LEMON DREAM FLOAT 10-12 oz. Coca Cola, chilled 2 scoops lemon sherbet (not sorbet) 16 oz. glass or mug, well chilled Pour Coca Cola into chilled glass, top with 2 scoops lemon sherbet, stir if desired. (Recipe by Darcie-Nicole Wicknick) LEMON DREAM PIE 1 9" pie shell 1 1/2 cups water 1 cup honey 1/2 cup lemon juice 1/3 cup cornstarch 2 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel 1/4 teaspoon salt 4 egg yolks, lightly beaten 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped to soft peaks Bake empty pie shell according to package directions until golden brown. In medium saucepan, combine water, honey, lemon juice, cornstarch, butter, lemon peel, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir small amount into yolks. Pour yolk mixture back into honey mixture; mix thoroughly. Pour into pie shell. Chill. To serve, top with whipped cream. Serves 8. (From Swift and Savory by National Honey Board) LEMON DREAM PIE 2 env. Dream Whip 1 pkg. (3 oz.) lemon Jell-o 2/3 c. boiling water 2 c. ice cubes 1 (8"-9") baked and cooled pie shell Prepare Dream Whip as directed on package. Dissolve Jell-o in boiling water. Add ice cubes and stir until Jell-o is thickened (about 2-3 minutes). Remove any unmelted ice. Blend in topping, then whip until smooth. Chill until mixture will mold. Spoon into pie shell and chill for 2 hours. Serve after pie has chilled. (Printed from cooks.com) LEMON DREAM PUDDING 1 1/2 cup apple juice 3 tablespoons agar flakes 3 tablespoons Kuzu (kudzu) 1 teaspoon vanilla 18 ounces plain Amasake (rice drink) 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel pinch of salt 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon rice syrup (optional) Heat Amasake, juice, agar, and lemon peel in a medium saucepan. Simmer 5 minutes until agar dissolves. In a separate bowl, mix Kuzu with lemon juice until it dissolves and add to saucepan and stir until it thickens. Add salt and vanilla. Cool briefly and pour into individual serving dishes or bowl. Let set for 1 hour in the fridge before serving. Serves 6. (Author - Polly Pitchford, Full Spectrum Health) |
