Candied Meyer Lemons

(8)
Meyer Lemon Crepe Cake
Yield:
2 cups

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 ¼ 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.

Cook's Notes

Lemons can be refrigerated in syrup, covered, for up to 3 weeks.
