Absolute waste of ingredients. Sauce came out way too watery and had way too much sugar, I even added more than the recommended amount of berries. Basically it came out to a simple syrup with a light berry aftertaste. To those who want to make an actual sauce that is tangy and thick, just juice the lemon you've zested instead of adding any water, at this point don't even bother with the brandy and put about 1/2 or 1/3 of the recommended sugar.

Living in the south we are very lucky to have an abundance of fresh seafood and other ingredients at our disposal when trying new recipes. My husband and I both love to cook and have learned a lot about cooking from our native Louisianian, Paul Prudhomme (we learned to be very careful with his recipes as they are very spicy - even for us), native New Orleanian, Frank Davis and transplanted Emeril Lagasse. It would be very difficult to pick an all time favorite cookbook since I have approximately 200. I enjoy collecting local cookbooks as well as others from different areas. This picture is obviously when DH and I got married. I cooked all the food and even made my wedding cake.
