How to Make Candied Citrus Slices Lemon Or Lime
- In a large skillet, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add 2 thinly sliced lemons (about 1 cup sliced) OR 10 thinly sliced key limes (about 1/2 cup sliced) to the boiling syrup.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, uncovered, for 1-2 minutes, or until the citrus slices are just softened but still hold their shape. Do not overcook.
- Carefully remove the candied citrus slices from the syrup using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a wire rack placed over a baking sheet.
- Allow the candied citrus slices to cool completely on the rack. This allows the sugar to set and creates a beautiful candy coating.
