Ingredients
- 2 lemons sliced very thinly
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- First, slice lemons very thinly using a sharp knife or mandolin. Discard any seeds.
- In a large skillet, add water and granulated sugar. Bring this mixture up to a boil, stirring frequently.
- Once sugar has dissolved, reduce heat to a simmer. Add in lemon slices.
- Simmer lemons on low medium heat for 25 to 30 minutes or until lemons have slightly deepened in color. Flip every 8 to 10 minutes or so to prevent burning.
- Finally, carefully remove lemon slices from skillet. Place on parchment lined pan to fully cool.
Notes
- Both regular and Meyer lemons work well. Meyer lemons tend to be slightly sweeter.
- I used a very sharp knife to slice lemons. Use a mandolin if desired.
- The sugar will dissolve in the water fairly quickly. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
- To prevent burning, flips lemon slices every 8 to 10 minutes.
- Allow lemon slices to fully cool on parchment lined pan.
