Cooking with lemon

With the shelter in place order, I try not to go to shopping often.
I try to cook with ingredients at home which include fruits in the garden.
Unfortunately most of fruits we grow in the garden are citrus like lemon, lime and yuzu.
They are nice to have but you can't really "eat".

To conjure something to eat out of citrus trees I made lemon peel.


Remove white lining and slice the lemon skin. 
Cook them with water and sugar then add lemon juice, and cook until they become translucent. 
Cool them down and sprinkle sugar.











It tastes good just by itself, and I also baked lemon bread and lemon cookies with them.
The leftover syrup from lemon peel making is delicious with yogurt.
