  1. Every bit as good as my grandma's recipe (actually I think her recipe was identical!) Truly delicious and sooo good slathered on toast (also good on pancakes!) Thanks so much for posting this one!
     
  2. Great recipe -fantastic taste and it's gluten free. I'd love to give 6 stars to you!
     
  3. ChrissyO - What are you trying to do to me??!! This stuff is incredible! It may never make it onto my toast in the morning because I will be eating this straight out of the bowl! This is a lemony-custard type of spread. This will take about 20 minutes over a low heat to thicken. Makes 4 cups - that probably won't last the day ;) Fantastic, Chrissy!! Thank you for sharing!

  5. This one is a "Keeper" for sure!! I sandwiched a couple of gingernut biscuits together with this and a dollop of cream, left them in the fridge for a short while till the biscuits softened slightly and...YUMMO!! Scones, cakes, toast, tartlets...Mmmm the things you can use with /spread this on are endless.
