When will I be able squeeze and smell one? ;) I think that regular lemons may actually be better for pickling as Meyer lemons are softer and juicier than regular ones and less acidic too. <br /><br />Hmmm...... I was thinking of sending one of those mummified lemons to the Smithsonian for display. I certainly would not dare to eat them LOLdenise fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307457105004478777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-87597550453535395932013-02-25T23:02:31.740+08:002013-02-25T23:02:31.740+08:00Hi Rebecca, once in a very blue moon, they pop up ...Hi Rebecca, once in a very blue moon, they pop up at my neighbourhood supermarket. But, like I said, I don't trust the labels, so they still get a hot water soak and scrub from me. You could try Farmart Centre, if you're really interested. The address is 67 Sungei Tangah Rd.

They were a little too soft and salty by the time I got round to using them. They are even softer now. Hopefully they don't get to the dark ominous stage like the one shown in your picture. It will be interesting to see what you are going to use them for. :)Biren @ Roti n Ricehttp://www.rotinrice.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-3597783195568148462013-02-25T22:14:40.217+08:002013-02-25T22:14:40.217+08:00Hi Denise,

Hi Denise,<br />Just lovely !<br /> We don't get meyer lemons in the area that I live but every winter, I pickle limes that get good enough to eat in a week and they live FOREVER. I sometimes add a few whole peppercorns and a sprinkling of chillie flakes too.ushanoreply@blogger.com
