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
