It tastes so yummy I could eat it straight from the jar! I didn't bother to sieve mixture as I wanted to keep the lemon zest in for a bit of texture.

Dropping a few stars for that. End result is good., approved=true, user_name=Kimber, hs_createdate=1702249873201, rating_new__1_5_=3, id=11175513890}]}
