Used this sauce on Happy Cake ( Pound Cake ) & it was exactly what I was looking for. Perfectly tart with fresh squeezed lemon juice, it complimented the pound cake nicely. I made just as written without any trouble thickening. Thank you for posting, Andrea. I'll be coming back to this recipe again.

Excellent - served it over Gingerbread with Lemon Sauce. I chose this sauce because it had the most lemon juice compared to the amount of sugar and I wanted a very lemony tart sauce. I actually added 1 t more cornstarch because I always have trouble with cornstarch not thickening. Thanks for posting!
