My youngest sister adores lemons. In fact, she loves them so much that she used to eat plain lemons when she was a child! I don't think she's done that recently, though. At any rate, this recipe is a perfect gift for her, and most likely someone on your list! INGREDIENTS:
    1 cup  sugar
    1 cup  lemon juice
    3 Tbsp.  butter
    3  eggs

PREPARATION:
Combine sugar and lemon juice in heavy medium saucepan. Stir in butter and eggs and beat well. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Pour into a one pint container and cover tightly.

Refrigerate up to 2 months. Use as a spread on muffins or bread, or as a filling in cakes, like Lemon Chiffon Cake.
