I recently made some dried lemons for A Pretty Fall Brunch I hosted and they turned out exactly how I wanted them. Now I’m obsessed with the possibilities. Here’s how it works: simply grab 1-2 lemons, thinly slice them to your liking, lay them out on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and bake at 170 degrees for about 5 hours. Eh voila!

I was making these while I was also making a cake, so I even had to take them out of the oven for an hour or so while I turned it up for the cake and when I was done, I turned down the heat and put them back in. It didn’t hurt a thing. Once you take them out and they cool they are kind of like hard candies and you can move them around and use them in many ways. So here are 8 ways to use dried lemons this fall!

1. IN PLACE OF TABLE CONFETTI

2. AS A COCKTAIL GARNISH

3. IN PLACE OF POTPOURRI

4. ON A WREATH

5. FOR A CAKE TOPPING

6. AS A GARLAND

7. FOR GENERAL DECOR

8. FOR PLACE SETTINGS
