SWEET POTATO PONE (CAJUN)

Steps:

• FOR THE PONE: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F, then butter a 9"x9"x2" baking dish.

• FOR THE CANDIED LEMON SLICES: Meanwhile, cut the 2 lemons crosswise into 1/8-inch slices & remove the seeds.
• In a covered pan, boil the sugar with the water for 5 minutes, then remove the cover & boil rapidly until syrup reaches the soft-ball stage (236 degrees F), then remove the pan from the heat.
• Dip lemon slices in the syrup & put them on a baking sheet to dry until ready to use.
• As soon as the pone is done, transfer the entire pone square to a rack to cool.
