My fetish with lemons has yet to recede or fade to the background. But it is sadly digressing fast. And I’m blaming my supplier. My supplier who has created a habit that will be hard to break, and who is breaking it for me, against my will.
Think of me as the Lindsay Lohan of the lemon world. Rehab, here I come.
I’m so sad to see my Meyer lemon train making it’s final stop at my beloved Costco. Costco has been the key ingredient in keeping my overwhelming love and sense of tartness in the front seat of my recipe list that has included both savory —Meyer Lemon Fettuccine—and sweet—Meyer Lemon Tart.
Lemons are making way for sweet strawberries and skinny asparagus, which will soon enough pass the favorite ingredient hat to home-grown tomatoes, jalapeños and the plethora of zucchini.
I’ve had this recipe for Lemon Mini Bundt Cakes for what seems like eons. It’s not like I was trying to keep it to myself, the timing just never seemed to work out. I’ve made it but never photographed it. I’ve made it with booze and I’ve delivered it to friends.
But now the time is here, it is time to end my dalliance with this lemon hybrid. Oh Mr. Meyer, I can’t quit you.
Some recipe notes:
1. This time around I’ve added chopped, dried cherries that have been soaked and plumped to give a nicely subtle chew. If you’re looking for an extra kick may I suggest recipe note #2.
2. Since I was out of Amaretto, these babies didn’t get the boozey dunk, but it is a great option if you’re looking for a little swig a ling.
3. No rosemary in the fridge, or perhaps you’re simply not a fan? Add in other aromatics like lavender or even sage to give the glaze a distinctively different taste.
4. These would be equally delicious with orange. Try it and let me know what you think.
5. Poppyseeds, craisins and even a topping with toasted almonds would kick up the flavor jets. Did I hear dunked in dark chocolate? Oh, why didn’t I think of that?
