I used this recipe with orange instead of lemon. Given how mild the flavour of my first go with the lemon was, I ramped up the zest and the juice and added some cornflour. The orange I had was a bit bitter so I also added a couple of drops of maple syrup. It turned out really good!

I'd bake some bread in the morning, but work has been so crazy and I'm so tired, I don't know if I have the energy!
Ingredients
* 1/4 cup white sugar
* 1 tablespoon cornstarch
* 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
* 1/2 cup water
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice
* 2 teaspoons butter
* pinch salt
Directions
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Stir in water and lemon juice, and continue stirring. After the mixture thickens and bubbles, continue to heat and stir for another two minutes.
2. Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the butter. Serve warm.
It doesn't look like it would make much, would it? Wonder if I should double the recipe...
