CANDIED LEMONS

By gaster16

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 2 lemons washed well and sliced 1/4" thick

Preparation

Step 1

Bring sugar and water to a boil in a large saucepan, and heat until sugar dissolves. Add lemons and cover surface with parchment. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer gently until rinds are translucent, about 30 minutes. Let lemons cool in syrup.

Using slotted spoon, transfer lemons to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Let stand to allow excess syrup to drip off.

Lemons can be refrigerated in syrup, covered, for up to 3 weeks.
