I just made this for the first time. I replaced the lemon juice with lime as that is what I had on hand. This is a nice, simple and tart flavor. I will use this with fish, pork or chicken. I will try it on toast. Be careful, this will burn on the bottom of the pan easily. I caught it in time and turned it way low to finish. Doubling the recipe gave me 1.5 pints.

This is a good change of pace from a typical jam or jelly. Good on a piece of buttered cinnamon raisin bread for breakfast. It was just a tad too tart from the lemon, even with a bit of brown sugar added and superripe bananas, so next time I might use less and add more spice. Thanks for a great idea, lazyme!
