  1. Wow, I was pleasantly surprised here! I usually use James Beard's hard sauce recipe with my bread pudding (with his substitute of lemon juice for whisky or whatever), but didn't feel like hunting down my cookbook so did a quick search online for a lemon sauce. I didn't have the rind so threw in an extra TB or so of lemon juice and what a lovely flavor! Lemony and sweet but not-too-sweet. Would definitely use again!
     
  2. I was looking for a lime sauce recipe and couldn't find one, so I made this recipe with limes instead of lemons. Absolutely delicious as a topping for cheesecake. I used two limes, since they are so much smaller than a large lemon, and it worked perfectly. I did strain out the rind after simmering, but only because I didn't like the looks of the green rind. Not too tart, not too sweet. Really good.
     
  3. I needed a quick dessert topping for my pound cake and this was the perfect choice. what a wonderful recipe.Even my mom was impressed.
     
  4. WOW... this was wonderful! I served it over angel food cake with strawberries and blueberries. My husband also had some over vanilla ice cream and said it was great. I made it ahead of time and just reheated it... it was awesome!
     
  5. Absolutely fabulous! This delicate Lemon Sauce was exactly what I was seeking to top my bread pudding. It was a lovely balance of sweetness and tartness. It makes about 2 cups though; so if you only need a small amount, I advise halving all the ingredients.

I would like to let you all know that I am no longer able to review your recipes that I have tried. since they changed the site around webtv does not supprt zaars new site.I have a webtv not a computer and webtv does not support the new recipezaar site. so I will no longer be able to review your great recipes,nor will I be able to put my own recipes on here.Please don't think I wouldn't like to review your recipes,it was one of the nice parts of zaar that I did enjoy doing. So please forgive!!! I am Married to the same guy for 40 years,I Have 2 beautiful Daughters, who have given me 6 grand and glorious grandchildren. I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby. My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands. He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
