  • 1 1/2 pounds whole lemons ( this is 6 Meyer lemons)

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, slice lemons into paper-thin rounds, remove seeds and discard.

  • Step 2: In a medium bowl combine lemon slices and sugar. Let mixture sit until sugar is dissolved (30 minutes).

  • Step 3: In a saucepan bring lemon sugar mixture and 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until translucent (30 minutes), being careful not to let mixture caramelize.

  • Step 4: Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Strain mixture, reserving lemon slices. Place lemon slices on parchment paper; let dry at room temperature (lemons will be sticky). Cover and freeze for up to one week.
