Lemon Pancake Syrup and Sauce Mix

I've always loved lemon. Lemon is my favorite pie. And I love good lemon desserts. But good lemon can be hard to find. Much of it is tinny, metallic tasting. This isn't. It's lemon pie on your plate.

You just add butter and water. It makes a thick, creamy, lemon-colored syrup with a bright lemon flavor just like a good lemon pie.

• It's fabulous on pancakes or French toast. Try it on raspberry or blueberry pancakes.
• Drizzle some over ice cream for a simple dessert that is luscious.
• Put lemon sauce over angel food cake, top it with fresh blueberries, and a dollop of whipped cream.
• It's a classic match for blueberries and terrific on strawberry and raspberry desserts, even strawberry or raspberry shortcakes.
• It transforms gingerbread from good to extraordinary.
