CANNED SUGARED LEMON SLICES IN SYRUP
Originally I made this recipe to use in a lemon upside down cake and from there used a standard sweet canning syrup.The sweet & sour syrup can be used as a base, then soy sauce/ginger or any other spice added, thickened for oriental dishes. The lemon slices can be used as garnish, drinks, cakes, breads, rind can also be used. This recipe is multiple use.I have used the slices to decorate cakes.

Steps:
- Using a mandoline or chef's knife, slice the lemons into rounds, as thin as possible.
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup water; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until sugar has dissolved and mixture is simmering, about 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and place lemon slices in hot syrup; cover. Let slices rest in pan until cooled to room temperature, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer slices and syrup to an airtight container; refrigerate for at least 3 days. Slices will keep, refrigerated, up to 1 month.
Tips:
- Choose lemons that are ripe and have a bright yellow color. Avoid lemons that have blemishes or bruises.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the lemons into thin rounds. This will help them cook evenly in the syrup.
- If you want the lemon slices to be extra sweet, you can add more sugar to the syrup.
- Be sure to sterilize the jars and lids before using them. This will help to prevent spoilage.
- Process the jars in a boiling water bath for at least 10 minutes. This will help to create a seal and ensure that the lemon slices are safe to store.
Conclusion:
Candied sugared lemon slices in syrup are a delicious and versatile treat. They can be enjoyed on their own, used as a topping for desserts, or added to drinks. They are also a great way to use up leftover lemons. With a little time and effort, you can easily make your own candied sugared lemon slices at home.
