                I had never made candied lemon zest before but recently gave this a try.  Unfortunately I burned the first batch and made a terrible mess so I could have used a warning about watching the simple syrup closely.  But I gave it another go and it came out great.  Looked nice on top of the lemon tart.

Ingredients

  • 6 lemons, scrubbed
  • 2 cups sugar

Directions

Using a vegetable peeler, peel zest from lemons. Use a knife to remove any white pith; cut zest as thinly as possible.

Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add zest; blanch for 1 minute, drain, and rinse under cold water.

In another medium saucepan, combine sugar and 2 cups water; bring to a simmer. Cook until sugar dissolves completely, about 2 minutes. Add lemon zest. Simmer until translucent, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat; let zest cool in syrup. When cool, transfer zest and syrup to an airtight plastic container.
