Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Wash lemons and cut off the very top and bottom ends of the lemon.

  2. Slice lemons thinly (removing any seeds as you go), cover with enough cold water to completely immerse the lemons and leave overnight.

  3. The next day, strain off the liquid and place lemons in a large saucepan. Cover with enough cold water to completely immerse the lemons and bring to the boil. Add the bicarb soda and boil for 15 minutes.

  4. Allow to cool a little and then strain off the liquid again. Leave lemons to cool completely.

  5. Add the one litre of water to the lemons and boil uncovered for 15-20 minutes.

Sue ★ 5.0/5

Not good, after all the time involved (not 1 day (soaking & then 40 mins as stated)
Step 3 Boil for 15 mins, Step 5 boil for 15-20 mins, Step 6 Simmer for 50-60 mins, Step 7 Boil for 5-10 mins - This equals more than 40 mins!!!!)
At the end of all this time I was left with 4 jars of sugar syrup (crystallized) that didn't even taste like lemon. Recommend don't try this recipe.

Did you make this recipe?
