Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 to 3 lemons)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh lemon juice, granulated sugar, and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  2. Once the mixture is hot and the sugar is dissolved, add the butter and let it melt completely. Stir the mixture gently to incorporate.
  3. Next, add the lemon zest and a pinch of salt. This will enhance the natural lemon flavor.
  4. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a bit of cold water to create a slurry, then add it to the lemon mixture. Stir well until fully combined.
  5. Continue to cook the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, until it thickens slightly. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t boil too vigorously.
  6. Once it reaches your desired consistency, remove the saucepan from heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes. The sauce will thicken more as it cools.
  7. Finally, transfer the lemon sauce into a serving dish or a jar for later use. It can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week.

This lemon sauce is a bright and beautiful addition to your dishes, bringing a revitalizing twist that is sure to delight anyone who tries it. Enjoy it warm or cold, and add a burst of citrus to your meals!
