Candied lemon
By AbigailKing
The operation is actually not complicated to do, but it takes a little longer. Using the same method, you can also make honey orange peels. I remember eating orange cakes when I was a child. There were many large grains of granulated sugar on the outside. Do you still have a delicious taste in your memory?

Steps for Candied lemon
1
Cut off both ends of the washed lemon, use a sharp knife to slice off the skins in sequence, and try not to slice off the pulp.
2
Bring water to a boil (add more water, 2 inches below the lemon peel), add the lemon peel to a boil, continue to cook for 2 minutes, and then pour away the water. Readd water to the pan and bring to a boil, repeating the previous steps and cooking 3 times in total to remove the bitter taste from the lemon peel.3
Put water in the pan (just touch the amount of lemon peel), add sugar (the amount of sugar can be adjusted according to personal taste, but not too little, otherwise the bitterness of the lemon peel will be prominent), and boil the sugar over low heat. Add the lemon zest, bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat and continue to cook for 1 hour.4
Pick out a piece, dry it, and bite it with your teeth. If it is soft and you can bite it through, it can be taken out of the pot. Otherwise, continue to cook until soft.
5
After fishing out, control the water to dry, and let it dry for a few more hours. When the skin seems to be dry and wet, place the lemon peel in a large bowl sprinkled with sugar in advance, and roll with a layer of sugar. Success.Candied lemon Make Tips
