Candied Lemon Skins

This is an unusual treat, and if you want to keep the peel's sour flavor, just use less sugar than called for in the recipe.

Ingredients:  

• 4 large lemons 

 

• 2 cups of sugar 

 

• 8 cups of water

 

 

 Preparation: 

 

1. Peel the lemons and cut the peel into thin strips. 

 

2. Place the peel on a cutting board and remove as much of the fruit as you can using a sharp knife. 

 

3. Boil 2 cups of water in a medium-sized pot. Add the peel strips to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. This will remove most of the bitterness in the peel. Remove the peel strips from the water. 

 

4. Repeat the process 2 more times, using fresh water each time. 

 

5. Empty the pot, add 2 new cups of water and 2 cups of sugar. Let it simmer to produce a sugary syrup.

 

6. Lower the heat and add the lemon peel. Cook the strips in the syrup for an hour – they should become soft and translucent. Use a fork or tongs to remove the strips from the syrup and leave them on a drying rack to dry out – this should take a few hours.
