Candied Key Lime Slices image

Yield makes enough to garnish one 9-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 cup sugar
2 Key limes (about 1 ounce each), very thinly sliced into rounds

Steps:

  • In a 10-inch sauté pan, bring sugar and 1 cup water to a boil, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Add lime slices in a single layer, arranging them so they do not overlap. Cook until white pith is translucent, 30 to 40 minutes, turning slices two or three times during cooking. Using a slotted spatula, carefully transfer slices to a wire rack to cool completely before using.
