Perfect lemon sauce. Loved the sweetness of the honey and brown sugar mixed with the hint of heat from the chilies. Served this over some breaded fish for a wonderful meal. Might add some cappers next time just for a change. Thanks so much for sharing. :)

The three of us loved this for tonights dinner served over fresh fish. Tangy, yet sweet, and yet so delcious! I did add a little parsley, as I already had some chopped (on hand)..... ohhh and substituted arrowroot for cornflour, everything else was as per recipe. And it was so wonderful! I think this would be perfect over chicken! Very quick and so very easy! Thanks Pat, will be making this one again!

Sorry, they won't let me give you 10 stars!!!!!! This sauce is incredible! Love the sweet spicy combination. Followed your directions except needed more thickening, so used a little corn starch and water to finish it off. Instead of red chilis used about 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Served over baked salmon on a bed or rice. Next time plan to garnish with slivered almonds. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

WOW YUM! I used ground ginger, 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes in lieu of the chilies, and I put cornmeal into the food processor to make the cornflour. This made it super simple to put this sauce together. We served it over grilled chicken breasts and it was a huge hit! Thanks Pat, for sharing such a great recipe. :)

I seem to be in a bit of a minority here, so maybe it's personal taste, but I thought this was a bit out of balance (too lemony and salty) until I added in another tablespoon of honey. Once I'd done that, this was great over our rice and flake (shark). Extra good as it's fat free and fits right in with our healthier eating plan.
