I like to add a little bit of food coloring to these candies to make them more festive. They're also a great way to use up leftover sprinkles.

These candies are a great way to use up leftover lemons. I always have a few lemons on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.

I've tried several different lemon jelly candy recipes, but this one is by far the best. The candies are always soft and chewy, with just the right amount of lemon flavor.
