You'll need to peel and section a lemon for this dish. Take care to use only the flesh by removing the skinlike, white membrane from each section.

  • 4 cups water
  • 1/4 cup lemon sections (about 1 large lemon)
  • 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons butter or stick margarine
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • Dash of salt

Very good. But this recipe was a lot of work and, while good, not good enough to be worth all the extra effort. Hard to beat a simple roasted sweet potato!

ok, I made these for dinner last night. I really enjoyed the sweet but not sweet flavor that the syrup, sugar, and lemon gave off. I halfed the sugar thinking that the syrup and sweet potatoes were enough for a dinner dish. I thought this was a very nice recipe however, my husband didnt really care for it; too sweet for his tastes I guess.
