    Ingredients

    • 1 large lemon
    • 1 cup sugar

    Directions

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Let stand until ready to serve.

      oops - ignore my previous question. I scanned the recipe and missed the quantity of water, I should have known no detail is missed.
