Recipe information

3 lemons, washed well and dried

4 cups water

4 cups sugar

Step 1
Using a very sharp knife or an adjustable-blade slicer, cut lemons into very thin slices (remove and discard seeds). In a heavy saucepan, bring the water and the sugar to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar.
Step 2
Add lemon slices to pan, and cover with a round of parchment to keep lemons submerged; return to a boil. Remove from heat, and let cool to room temperature. Candied citrus slices can be refrigerated (in syrup) in an airtight container up to 1 week. Place on a wire rack to dry before using.
