Candied Lemon Peel

A friend asked me to do this one for her. I had a great recipe for it and can't find it among all the boxes in this house. I actually looked this one up on the internet from allrecipes.com submitted by StevenRN. Hope you all enjoy. This was a sweet treat.

Candied Lemon Peel

Ingredients

3 Lemons
2 cups water,
2 cups white sugar

Method:

1) Cut lemons into slices, and remove the fruit pulp. Scrape off as much of the white inner layer as you can, this part is bitter.

2) Bring water to a boil in a small pan, and add lemon peels.

3) Boil for about 5 minutes, until tender. Remove peels from water, and stir in sugar.

4) Return to a boil, add peels, and boil until transparent.

5) Drain, and allow to dry before storing.
