Steps:
- Squeeze lemons until you get 1 cup of fresh juice.
- Combine lemon juice and sugar and stir to dissolve.
- Boil mixture until thick and syrupy-about 20-30 minutes, stirring regularly. Test the syrup by dropping a small bit into cold water-if it crystallizes and becomes brittle, it's ready!
- Spray down a mini muffin tin or silicone mold with cooking spray and add heated mixture to the tin/mold. Fill each mini muffin cup less than halfway full, or fill small silicone molds about ¾ full. (I used a cooking syringe to help transfer my syrup into the silicone molds.)
- Transfer filled molds to the fridge to cool until hardened, ~1-2 hours.
- Pop out and enjoy!
- Yields 30 homemade lemon drop hard candies.
