Candied Lemon Slices
 
Yield: 12
Ingredients
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 12 very thin (⅛-inch thick) lemon slices
Instructions
  1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with wax paper.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup water. Cook over medium-high heat just until sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low, and add lemon slices. Cook until lemon slices are shiny and translucent, approximately 10 minutes.
  3. Lay lemon slices in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Let cool to room temperature. Just before using, blot lemon slices with paper towels, and form into ruffled shapes.
Notes
Make-Ahead Tip: Make Candied Lemon Slices up to a day ahead. Reserve syrup after removing lemon slices to baking sheet to cool. Combine cooled syrup and cooled slices, and store in a covered container in the refrigerator until needed. Blot and shape slices just before using.
