Tips and Tricks for honeyed lemons
- I recommend to slice the lemons very thinly for best results. I sliced my lemons about ⅛-inch thick.
- You can use other citrus for this recipe, too. Oranges and limes also work great.
- Clean it up! Since you are eating the rind of the lemon, be sure to wash and scrub before slicing. It’s best to use organic lemons if possible.
- We like to use a high quality local honey, we feel it enhances the end product. But any honey should work!
- Use the honey to spread over toast, biscuits, on top of lemon bundt cake or add to tea!
