The Dixie Cook-Book

Lemon Sauce (Two cups sugar two eggs juice)

Two cups sugar, two eggs, juice and rind of two lemons; beat all together, and just before serving add pint boiling water; set on stove, and when at boiling point, serve. Never boil sauce after adding lemon, as it makes it bitter. Some add one-third cup butter and table-spoon corn starch.
