Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 2

6 lemons, scrubbed
2 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Using a vegetable peeler, cut the zest from the lemons. Use a knife to remove any white pith, and cut zest as thinly as possible lengthwise.
  • Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add zest; blanch for 1 minute, drain, and rinse under cold water.
  • In the same saucepan, combine sugar and 2 cups water; bring to a simmer. Cook until sugar dissolves completely, about 2 minutes. Add lemon zest. Simmer until translucent, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat; let zest cool in syrup. When cool, transfer zest and syrup to an airtight plastic container.
