Layer the lemons on a flat wire basket and lower them into a saucepan. Add in the sugar and water and slowly bring the syrup to a simmer. Place a round of wax paper over the lemons and allow simmering for 10 to 15 min. Remove from the heat and leave the lemons in the syrup for 24 hrs. Thereafter lift the fruit from the syrup and drain. Allow drying in the air. It should be completely dry and hard.
