Meyer Lemon and Cranberry Muffins

Yesterday at the farmer's market we picked up some great, fresh, local, and seasonal food including Meyer Lemons. This is the only time of the year you can get them. I brought them home and looked furiously for a recipe to use them in. I found a great blog that has dozens of uses for Meyer Lemons and I decided to bake one of them up this morning.

Meyer lemon and Cranberry muffins! They took no time to make and they were delicious. It's a good thing the recipe only makes a dozen. Using fresh cranberries is a must in this recipe. I buy a few packages during Thanksgiving and Christmas since they are cheaper then. I just freeze them and take out what I need until the holidays come around again and I can buy some more!

Do yourself a favor and head to the farmer's market every Thursday in downtown Visalia or every Saturday in the Sears parking lot. Buy some Meyer Lemons, Blood Oranges, and Cara Cara Oranges and whatever else your heart desires!
