Perfect for your next Lemon and Lavender Cake… hint hint - we have the best vanilla cake mix!

These are even more amazing on the perfect cocktail or ice tea … whatever is your preference! 🍹

Another one of my favorite holidays recipes and pre-holidays vibes - I do sample a few new cocktail recipes - just to make sure they taste right!!

There really is no tip or trick to them, the only thing I find is the issue to use baking paper and a tray or straight onto the rack!

I use the oven rack and then cooling racks - however, my oven racks are quite wide and the smaller lemon slices tend to slip through the cracks !

So for these, I do add some baking paper and at about 1.5 hours in, I take the baking paper off, as they just don’t dry out enough! They need the heat and air from all sides!

We have a humidifier - and our light blew, we tried to make grapefruit and lemon slices and no matter how long we had it in they didn’t dry! So, I am definately still going to try that!

If you are looking for the perfect teacher gift or Christmas gift, this is it! I promise your teacher would love to have something she can use to unwind after a full day with kids!

Here you go….

INGREDIENTS

Lemonssssss

Oranges

Grapefruit

Limes

Whatever citrus fruit you have growing in abundance, or choose to use!

Put your oven on 90 C

Slice your citrus thinly, you can add a mixture of all of them, they all dry at the same time. I recommend you TRY and get them 0.5mm and all of them!

A mandolin I would think is your best bet - however, I just slice them with a knife and eye ball the thickness!!

Depending on the size of your lemons - they do shrink - either add them directly onto your racks or add baking paper and then put them onto the racks.

If you are using baking trays, you will need to add baking paper as they tend to get stuck to the tray as they dry out!

Place your racks back into the oven and set time for 1.5 hours. If you can take the baking paper out, do it other wise give them all a flip and return for another 1.5 hours.

After the times up, remove the ones that are done, dark caramel brown. Return the ones that are still yellow, sticky and just not done! Give them 30 minutes at a time extra.

Let them cool down completely and store them in a airtight container! I store mine in the pantry in a plastic container.

Bottle them up in a nice glass jar and if you have some extra crafty tools, add a nice little sticker to the front for gifting and do pair it with a baking mix! The perfect teacher gift!
