Candied lemon slices

1-3 lemons
2 cups sugar
1 cup melted chocolate for dipping

Cut the lemon into thin slices – not too thin, or else they will break apart – and remove the seeds.
Bring some water to boil and blanch the slices of lemon for approximately a minute. Immediately plunge them into a bath of iced water. Drain.
Meanwhile, combine the sugar with 1 cup of water in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a simmer and add the lemon slices. Let them simmer for about two hours.
Remove the slices from the syrup and cook them on a rack over a baking sheet to dry for up to 24 hours. Dip them in the melted dark chocolate and set them on parchment paper and the chocolate has cooled and firmed.
