Candied Lemon Slices Recipe

There is something extremely addictive about the candied lemons.  It’s a lemon that’s so sweet while remaining true to its citrus base, it just sends your taste buds into a crazy dance.  Chew it, chew it, OMG! The lemon flavor is so full, so rich, so powerful, you will be fully immersed in the lemon taste while chewing on the peel.  This stuff is unbelievable.  You need these candied lemon slices right now!

You can eat these candied lemon slices on their own, you can decorate the cake with them or use them as an ice cream topping.  I just like to eat them like candy – that’s why they are called candied lemons!

Making homemade candied lemon slices is really easy.  All you need to do is layer lemon slices with sugar in a pot, add water, simmer for 1 hour, then remove the candied lemon slices from the pot and dry them on parchment paper.  You can store them in a container in the refrigerator layered between the parchment paper sheets (the parchment paper will prevent the candied lemons from sticking together).  There is no need to store them ever at our house because they don’t even last a day :)
