Everyone knows how to make chocolate sauce, but not many have a lemon sauce in the recipe box.
The remarkable thing about lemons is that they lend flavor to everything from main dishes to desserts.
Today's recipe is a sauce that you'll want to make and keep in the fridge. It's absolutely fabulous.
Even better, it can be made in a matter of minutes if you juice a large lemon in advance.
LEMON DESSERT SAUCE
This recipe makes 1 cup of lemon sauce that's delicious poured over pound cake, strawberries, ice cream, of frozen yogurt.
Ingredients
1/2 cup granulated sugar (the organic kind I usually buy won't work)
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 cup boiling water
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (the bottled stuff won't work)
2 tablespoons butter (must add pinch of salt if using unsalted butter)
grated rind of 1 lemon
Directions
1. In a small saucepan, mix sugar and corn starch. Stir in the boiling water and the lemon juice.
2. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly so it does not scorch. Boil for 3 minutes until the mixture is clear rather than cloudy. It should be thick at this point.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the butter. Add salt at this point if you used unsalted butter.
TAKEAWAY TRUTH
Actually, this is delicious on a crusty piece of toasted, buttered bread too!
