Lemon Drop Candy Recipe

• 8 lemons (1 cup freshly-squeezed juice)lemon
• 1 cup sugarsugar

1. 01Squeeze lemons until you get 1 cup of fresh juice.
2. 02Combine lemon juice and sugar and stir to dissolve.
3. 03Boil mixture until thick and syrupy—about 20-30 minutes, stirring regularly. Test the syrup by dropping a small bit into cold water—if it crystallizes and becomes brittle, it’s ready!*Taste your mixture as you go—if there's any hint of burnt flavor, it's a good time to stop cooking. (Even if your test droplets aren't totally crystallizing yet—see note below.)
4. 04Spray down a mini muffin tin or silicone mold with cooking spray and add heated mixture to the tin/mold. Fill each mini muffin cup less than halfway full, or fill small silicone molds about ¾ full. (I used a cooking syringe to help transfer my syrup into the silicone molds.)
5. 05Transfer filled molds to the fridge to cool until hardened, ~1-2 hours.
6. 06Pop out and enjoy!
