Consider this a multi-purpose syrup. It’s like lemon pie in a syrup. It is really good on pancakes especially with whipped cream but it works very well on desserts and ice cream as well.

You can buy a syrup and dessert sauce mix similar to this. The lemon syrup mix is made with a lemon pie filling as the base and has ingredients to reduce sugar crystallization. This mix is great to have on hand when you don’t have time for scratch or when you don’t have a stock of lemons in your refrigerator. It has a little different flavor and is very good.
