lemon sauce
Tangy yellow topping
Lemon sauce is a tangy, often sweetened sauce made with lemon juice, zest, sugar, and usually butter or cream.
It's drizzled over desserts like pound cake, gingerbread, or puddings: The bread pudding came with warm lemon sauce.
Savory versions, made with butter and herbs, accompany fish or vegetables.
