While this sauce makes a wonderful topping for angel food cake, it's also great as a glaze for roasted chicken with some thyme or rosemary...or swirled into a homemade cheesecake. —Connie Jurvevich, Atmore, Alabama

In the top of a double boiler, beat eggs and sugar. Stir in butter, lemon juice and zest. Cook over simmering water for 10-12 minutes or until mixture reaches 160° and is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Refrigerate for up to 1 week. Serve chilled over the cake.
