The Candied Lemons

Miz Helen's Kitchen

Ingredients

2 lemons

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

Directions

Wash the lemons and slice 1/4 inch thick

Bring the sugar and water to a boil in a large saucepan until the sugar dissolves.

Add the lemons, and cover the surface with a round of parchment paper.

Reduce heat to medium low and simmer gently until the rinds are translucent, about 30 minutes.

Let the lemons cool in the syrup

Take the cool lemons out of the syrup and dry on a rack sitting on a cookie sheet

Reserve the syrup to use as a glaze for the bread and also makes a great syrup for pancakes
