Easy Candied Lemon Zest

You will need
2 Lemons
1/3 Cup Water
1/3 Cup White Sugar
2 Tablespoons White Sugar in a bowl

Using vegetable peeler, peel zest from lemon. Make sure you get as little white as possible because it's bitter. Then slice the zest strips thin. Put in small sauce pan, and cover with water (not the 1/3 cup that's listed). Bring to boil and turn heat down to simmer. Simmer for 6 mins. Drain, then put zest back in pan, and add 1/3 cup water and sugar. Simmer for about 15 min. Until the sugar reduces and you are left with zest in a thick sugar gel. Remove from heat and put zest on wax paper. When slightly cool sprinkle with sugar from the bowl. roll it around to make sure it's completely covered. Let cool completely, and store in air tight container.
