Candied Meyer Lemon

Candied meyer lemon

Ingredients

4 Meyer lemons (or two regular lemons)

ice water

2 C granulated sugar

2 C water

DIRECTIONS

Thinly slice lemons using 4 in 1 Mandoline or ceramic knife, remove any seeds. You should have about 24 thin slices, give or take.

Prepare a medium-size bowl with ice and water.

Bring a Multipurpose Pot of water to boil, add lemon slices and boil for one minute. Remove slices from boiling water and plunge into ice water for a couple of minutes until cool, then drain.

In a medium-size skillet bring sugar and water to a simmer, stirring occasionally until sugar is dissolved.

Add lemon slices in a single layer and simmer for about an hour, until rinds are translucent. Remove lemon slices and cool on wire rack.

They become very jewel-like-like a stained-glass window. They’re so pretty. I sure hope you enjoy these!

Use these to garnish cakes or other baked goods.

ENJOY!
