Method
1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved this usually takes 2–3 minutes.2. Carefully add the lemon slices to the simmering syrup. Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook the slices for 30 to 40 minutes.
3. They’re done when they look soft, glossy, and translucent. Avoid stirring too much, as this can cause the slices to break apart.
4. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, gently remove the slices from the syrup and place them in a single layer on a sheet of parchment paper.
5. Let them cool at room temperature until fully dried - this can take several hours but overnight is ideal for the best texture.
