Sugared Lemons and Limes

water

white sugar

organic lemons

limes

sugar

Wash lemons and limes, pat dry and thinly slice into approx. ¼ inch slices. Make sure you don’t slice them too thin or you will lose the pulp of the lemons and limes as they boil.

In one large pot add 2 cups water and 1½ cups sugar together. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar has dissolved. In another large pot do the same, this is so you have one pot for the lemons and one pot for the limes.

Lower to a simmer and add a layer of sliced lemons (don’t overcrowd them) to one pot and sliced limes in the other pot. Simmer lemons and limes for 15-20 mins or until skins are translucent. Carefully transfer to a drying rack, lined with paper towel. Repeat until you’ve used all the lemon/lime slices.

Let lemon and lime slices air dry overnight (you can remove the paper towel at this point). Then press each slice into a bowl of extra fine sugar and place back on the drying rack. Let sugared lemons and limes dry for approx. 1 hour (depending on how sticky your slices are).
