Lemon Dessert Sauce

I love this sauce on gingerbread or fresh fruit, especially strawberries. It is also good on pound cake and ice cream.

Mix sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan.

Stir in boiling water and lemon juice.

Bring to a boil , stirring constantly.

Boil 3 minutes until clear and thick.

Remove from heat and stir in butter , lemon rind and salt.
