Instructions

  1. 1

    {'id': 'step_0', 'step': 1, 'text': 'Cut lemons into slices about 1/4-inch thick and remove the fruit pulp. Cut the rings in half so the peels are in long strips.'}

  2. 2

    {'id': 'step_1', 'step': 2, 'text': 'Bring water and lemon peels to a boil in a small pan. Drain water, and repeat with fresh cold water. Repeat the boiling step three times (see Editor's Note). Drain and set peels aside.'}

  3. 3

    {'id': 'step_2', 'step': 3, 'text': 'Combine 2 cups fresh water with 2 cups sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce heat to low and stir in citrus peels; simmer until the white pith is translucent. Store peels in syrup, refrigerated, to keep them soft.'}

  4. 4

    {'id': 'step_3', 'step': 4, 'text': 'Alternatively, strain peels from syrup and allow them to dry. Toss dry candied peels in additional sugar and store them in an airtight container at room temperature.'}
