Candied Lemon Slices And Lemon Syrup Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup sugar 

2 lemons, sliced 1/8 inch thick or thinner, seeds removed 

1/3 to 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 lemons) 

Preparation

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup water; bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add lemon slices, and simmer very gently over medium-low heat, swirling pan occasionally, until slices are opaque throughout, 20 to 30 minutes.
