What is Meyer lemon?

The Meyer Lemon is originally from China and thought to be a cross between a true lemon and a mandarin orange. It has a lighter, sweeter flavor than the more common lemon (Lisbon or Eureka are typical grocery store varieties). You can substitute the standard grocery store lemon in this recipe and the pie will be a bit less sweet and more tart.

Substitute for Meyer lemon

Eureka lemon or Lisbon (standard grocery store lemons) + a little sugar to taste
