When you harvest fresh fruit from a Meyer lemon tree in the dark of winter you hold summer in your hand. \u00a0 The fragrance of the blossoms.\u00a0 The glossy leaves shining in the gray light.\u00a0 Your fingers caressing the finely textured skin.\u00a0 Then the heavenly taste of the juice –\u00a0 at once sweet and sour.<\/p>\n

You can do many wonderful things with these delicate lemons, but I was\u00a0 yearning for something classic,\u00a0 simple,\u00a0 old fashioned.<\/p>\n

I have a cookbook that is a particular favorite.\u00a0 I have been baking out of it for more than forty years.\u00a0 A World Of Baking by Dolores Casella has provided me with dozens of quick and yeast bread recipes.\u00a0 The ingredients are readily available. \u00a0 The instructions are always brief.\u00a0 It is expected you already know the basics of baking.<\/p>\n

Meyer Lemon Nut Bread\u00a0 has a fine crumb.\u00a0 It’s rich tasting,\u00a0 studded with walnuts and finished with lemon syrup.\u00a0 Regular lemons work just as well.\u00a0 Be lavish with your lemon rind.\u00a0 The recipe calls for a teaspoon but I scrape every bit of rind from the lemons into the batter.<\/p>\n
