Best 4 Glazed Lemon Wedges Recipes

CANDIED LEMON SLICES

Steps:

• Combine the water and sugar in a large 12" or 14" skillet over medium heat and stir until sugar is dissolved.
• Place the lemon slices into the skillet in a single layer. Bring to a low simmer and cook for 30-40 minutes flipping the slices occasionally throughout.
• Remove the lemon slices to a parchment lined baking sheet letting as much excess syrup drip off as possible. (*see note)
• Let dry on the baking sheet uncovered at room temperature for 24 hours. The candied lemon slices will be tacky after drying for 24 hours but dry enough to use as garnishes or chop up into baking recipes, etc.
• Store any leftover lemon slices between sheets of parchment in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks.

• 3. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until the edges are light golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes.
• 4. In a small bowl, mix the glaze ingredients until smooth. Spoon the glaze over the warm shortbread; spread to the edges of the pans. Cool completely, about 45 minutes. Garnish with lemon zest, if desired. Cut each shortbread into 12 wedges.

• Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Let stand until ready to serve. Lemon slices can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 day.
