Candied lemons

Make your own Candied Lemons!

These delicious treats are a sure way to preserve your citrus. If you don't have access to homegrown fruit, it is recommended that you clean them (https://www.google.com/amp/m.wikihow.com/Dewax-Lemons%3famp=1)

I blanched the slices in boiling water and then dumped them in ice water per the instructions.

Once the slices were out of the ice water, I boiled a pan of sugar syrup. I recommend 1:3 water to sugar and let the slices simmer for 2 hours, otherwise they can be gooey and not harden properly.

I let the slices dry for about 24 hours on a cooling rack over a baking sheet to catch all of the sugar drips. They look like little glass ornaments. Tempering a batch of dark sweet chocolate and dipping them is amazing! These are gorgeous and delicate confections!
