Steps:
- Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, cut lemon into 12 paper-thin slices; discard seeds and ends of rind.
- Bring a medium saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Remove from heat, and add lemon slices; stir until softened, about 1 minute. Drain, and immediately plunge slices into ice-water bath. Drain.
- Bring sugar and 1 cup water to a boil in a medium skillet, swirling to dissolve sugar. When liquid is clear and bubbling, reduce heat to medium-low. Add lemon slices, arranging them in one layer with tongs. Simmer (do not let boil) until rinds are translucent, about 1 hour.
- Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Let stand until ready to serve. Lemon slices can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 day.

Steps:
- Place confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl or liquid measuring cup; stir in lemon juice (glaze should be thick, yet pourable). Add more sugar or lemon juice, as necessary, to achieve desired consistency.
Tips:
- Choose the right lemons: Select firm, ripe lemons with a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid lemons that are soft or have bruises or blemishes.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you create clean, even slices of lemon.
- Remove the seeds: Before slicing the lemons, remove any seeds. This will help prevent the glaze from becoming bitter.
- Make the glaze ahead of time: The glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
- Use the glaze on other fruits: The glaze can also be used on other fruits, such as oranges, grapefruit, and pineapple.
