Categories     Food & Cooking

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
Large pinch of salt
2 1/2 cups hot water
7 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • In a heatproof bowl set over (but not touching) simmering water, mix together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add hot water and cook, 3 to 5 minutes, whisking gently, until thick.
  • Add the butter, lemon juice, and zest and continue cooking, stirring gently, for about 5 minutes. Cool slightly before using, but do not refrigerate (the sauce will become aspic-like) and do not reheat.

Tips:

  • To make the most of the lemon flavor, use fresh, unwaxed lemons and zest them before juicing.
  • If you don't have lemon juice, you can substitute lime juice, but the flavor will be slightly different. Orange juice is very acidic, so it is not a good substitute.
  • To keep the sauce warm for serving, place it in a fondue pot or a slow cooker set on low heat.
  • If you want a smoother sauce, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before serving.
  • For a richer sauce, add a tablespoon or two of butter or cream to taste.
  • If you want to get creative, consider adding herbs like thyme, rosemary, or basil to the sauce. You could also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.

Conclusion:

A sour lemon sauce is a versatile condiment that can be used to enhance a variety of dishes, from chicken to fish to vegetables. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your sauce tart, sweet, or spicy, you're sure to find a recipe in this article that you'll love.
