Candied Lemon Wheels

I found this recipe on Biscuitsandsuch.com and it looked so good.

So I though I would give it a try. It can be a topper to any dessert. 

Best of all, you can keep the syrup you used to make this and use it as

a lemon flavored simple syrup. Can be added to drinks, food, etc. 

Candied Lemon Wheels

1 lemon

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup water

Bring the water and sugar to a gentle boil.

Cut the lemon into paper thin wheels.

Once sugar is completely dissolved, drop in the lemon wheels and let simmer about 15-20 mins, or until the lemons are translucent.

Remove lemon wheels from simple syrup and let rest on a flat plate or surface until hardened.
