Steps:
- 1. Slice lemons into thin slices. I used lemons after I had gotten the juice out. Made them candied to avoid throwing them away. But you can use whole lemon slices.
- 2. Create a simple syrup by Combining equal parts water & sugar in a medium size sauce pan. Place over low heat, then stir till sugar has dissolved.
- 3. Bring liquid to a boil, then add the lemon slices and cook over medium high heat, stirring occassionally to prevent sticking till mixture becomes syrupy and candied about 30 to 35 minutes.
- 4. Use as a garnish on or in cakes and cookies, and you can also dip them in melted chocolate to have as a dissert. Or package and give away to a friend. To liven the fruit sprinkle with white or colored decorators sugar, then place on top of your dessert.
