Sweet Lemon Syrup
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 Tbsp cornstarch
2/3 cup water
1 cup sugar
zest from one lemon
4 Tbsp butter
1 drop yellow food coloring (optional)
Mix the lemon juice and cornstarch in a saucepan with a whisk. Add the water
and sugar and heat until bubbly and thick, stirring often. Remove from the
heat and stir in the zest, butter, and optional food coloring. Consider this a
multi-purpose syrup. It's like lemon pie in a syrup. It is out-of-sight good
on gingerbread pancakes especially with whipped cream but it works very well
on desserts and ice cream as well.
