    This recipe was delicious but I had to make some changes. Taking KDCLEWIEN1's advice I increased the yield (~1.5 cups) by thoroughly squeezing my lemon, adding a dash of lemon extract (why not?) and increasing the water to 1/3c. I also cut the sugar to 1/3 c and only 2 tbsp corn starch. Yum! - 6/25/12

    Following directions and amounts exactly this only made a scant 1/2 cup. Can't imagine how a person would get 1 cup when using only 1/4 cup water.. Never the less it is a good recipe just need to adjust the amounts if you want a cup of finished product. - 3/5/11
