You may substitute oranges or limes to make other citrus sugars. Use instead of plain granulated sugar in baking, or try sprinkling over cookies or stirring into hot tea for a delicious citrusy treat. The sugar will keep for several months in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Yield Makes about 1 pound

Number Of Ingredients 2

3 lemons
2 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Using a citrus zester, remove the zest. (Alternatively, using a paring knife or a vegetable peeler, remove the zest; then scrape as much of the bitter white pith off it as possible.) Roughly chop zest; transfer to a food processor, and add 1 cup sugar. Pulse until zest has been finely ground, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the ground mixture to a medium bowl. Add remaining cup sugar, and toss until evenly mixed.
  • Spread the lemon sugar on a baking pan, and let sit at room temperature until dry, about 1 hour.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out really dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with half the sugar next time.

I've never been a fan of lemon desserts, but this recipe changed my mind. The lemon flavor is subtle and not overpowering. The sugar coating adds a nice crunch.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it always turns out perfect. The lemon and sugar combination is the perfect balance of sweet and tart. I love serving it with fresh fruit or berries.
