  • 3
    Place water and sugar in none stick pot and start to simmer. Using a vegetable peeler cut lemons in very thin strips and place in simmering water. squeeze the juice from the lemon Being careful not to get any pith in the strips. Add pepper. At this point you’ll want to bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Once it starts to boil turn down heat to very low and let it simmer till it becomes very thick. This will need to be stirred occasionally till it is done.

    While lemon sauce cooks, take patties out and fry in equal amounts of butter and oil. Fry patties till they are golden brown on all sides place them on a serving platter and drizzle lemon mixture over them. Extra sauce can be served on the side. You can keep the rind in and serve it like that or take the rind out before mixture is fully cooked. The rind will be soft and chewy and adds another layer of texture and flavor to the sauce. The amount of sweetness in the sauce can be controlled by using less sugar or more lemons. I usually serve these with a green salad and crusty bread.
