Made this primarily as a sauce for pound cake & ice cream & we weren't disappointed! I did use lemon juice instead of the zest (Don't know what got into me!), & another time I might just use have the juice & almost all the zest ~ I really do love the taste of lemon! Thanks for a nice keeper of a recipe here! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Bargain Basement tag]
