Ingredients

sweetened condensed milk mixed with strawberry concentrate




CANDIED LEMON PEEL/LEMON SYRUP

Ingredients:
2 lemons
1 ½ cups water
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
Sugar for coating
3 tablespoons lemon juice

Wash and dry two lemons.  With a vegetable peeler, peel lemons in a circular spiral motion.  Set aside.

Boil the water in a small saucepan.  Add lemon peel.  Boil for approximately 5 minutes or until the peel is tender.

Remove the peel from the water.  Add the sugar and lemon juice and bring to a very gentle boil.  While the sugar water is cooking, cut your peel into narrow strips.  

Once the sugar water is at a gentle boil, add the lemon peel.  Stir constantly.  DO NOT BOIL AT A RAPID BOIL OR IT WILL CARMELIZE AND BURN.  When the lemon peel is nearly translucent, remove from heat (approximately 15 – 20 minutes). 

Using a sieve, pour the liquid (lemon syrup) through the sieve (which catches the candied peel) and into a container for storage.
In a shallow bowl, add about 1/3 cup sugar.  Coat each peel in sugar and place separately in a storage container.  Let dry overnight.
Let the lemon syrup cool, then store in the refrigerator.
