Candied Lemon Peel
Time: 20 minutes active preparation, but best to let these dry out overnight before serving.
Inspired by: I love everything lemon. Candied rinds brings back some fun childhood memories.
Ingredients:
- 3-5 lemons
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups sugar
Preparation
- Cut lemons into quarters. Remove fruit and white part of the rind. Cut the quarters into thin long strips.
- Bring water and lemon rinds to a boil in a small pan for about 5 minutes and then drain (to remove any bitterness in the rind).
- Bring water and sugar to a boil, add the rind, and simmer until the white pith is translucent – approximately 10 minutes.
- Remove peels and let them cool. Toss in a bit of sugar and allow them to harden over night. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
