Comments
The tang and richness is spectacular. The color is wonderful. Since there is no flour or corn starch in it, as a pudding would have you do, it is almost a perfect lemon flavor and a true delicacy.. AND SO EASY!!

Note: This sauce is a show stopper on top of Blueberry or Raspberry cobblers and pies. It is completely stunning on top of Lemon Custard Ice Cream or anything with raspberries.
