1/4 cup of lemon juice

NOTE:
This
recipe produces a rich red spread that has a consistency similar
to honey. Its unique flavor makes it delicious on toast or
breakfast scones. Can also be used as a glaze for vegetables
or poultry and if diluted with white vinegar, is a fine addition
to sauces and marinades.
