Candied Meyer Lemons

This recipe makes more than enough for the Meyer Lemon Crepe Cake. Spoon the leftover candied citrus over yogurt or ice cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 Meyer lemons (do not peel), preferably organic, washed well and sliced 1/4 inch thick

Directions

  1. Bring sugar and water to a boil in a large saucepan, and heat until sugar dissolves. Add lemons, and cover surface with parchment. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer gently until rinds are translucent, about 30 minutes. Let lemons cool in syrup.
  2. Using a slotted spoon, transfer lemons to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Let stand to allow excess syrup to drip off.

    It was very tasty, but something didn't work. My Lemon Mousse was runny. Any ideas as to why? Maybe I didn't whip it long enough before I refigerated it??? Will be trying this again, and would love some tips before I make my next attempt. Thanks in advance.
