Preserved Lemon Slices
Serves: 16
 
Ingredients
  • 1 medium lemon
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
  1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with wax paper.
  2. Using a serrated knife, cut lemon into ⅛-inch slices, discarding ends.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine water and sugar over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to a simmer, and add lemon slices in a single layer. Cook, turning lemon slices occasionally, until rinds are tender and slices look translucent, 13 to 15 minutes.
  4. Transfer lemon slices to prepared baking sheet. Let cool completely. Sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar. Let dry for 24 hours.
  5. Store in a single layer in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Just before using, cut each lemon slice into sixths.
