Right now is the time to make your preserved lemons, Mustache friends, as it is Meyer lemon season. I got Meyer lemons at my local Costco (4 pounds for $9) and they make the best preserved lemons.
In fact, Meyer lemons make the best lemon ANYTHING. They are thin-skinned, deep yellow, and have the most lovely fragrant aroma. And they are super juicy.
Some good Meyer lemon recipes:

And my own favorite, Meyer lemon limoncello:
2 750ml bottles 100 proof vodka
20 lemons
5 cups simple syrup (1:1 sugar:water, heated until sugar dissolves and then cooled a little)
Add one bottle vodka to glass jug. (Sun tea jars rescued from thrift shops are best for this.) Wash lemons to get the wax off, then peel them and put the peels into the vodka. (Try not to get so much of the white pith in there.) Let sit for 40 days. After 40 days, add the syrup and the other bottle of vodka. Let sit 40 more days. Strain out the lemon peels and bottle. Keep in freezer and serve as a digestif.
