Hoo-dawgie! I can hardly wait to see the responses to this, Picks.
Personally, I don't think you're going to sweeten anything but the
outside of the lemon by frying them in a sugar glaze; the juice is
within each little walled "bubble" and every time one breaks, it's going
to taste sour. But maybe I'm wrong.
