Now this is out of this world different, & I loved it, but then lemons are high up on my list of great fruits! This was just for the 2 of us this time around, 'cause we weren't exactly sure how well we'd like it, but believe me, I'm looking forward to making this for some special company in the near future! Definitely a winner in my book! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's Pick A Chef event]
