Old Fashioned Lemon Sauce
"This recipe is so old that the instructions say to place the ingredients in a "tin basin" and cook! So many recipes that I have have little or no instructions, just a list of ingredients. Sometimes the list of ingedients is vague also. Example: butter the size of an egg for an amount! This sauce goes great on gingerbread!"
