Step 1

In a small saucepan, add sugar, cornstarch, salt and turmeric (if using). Add water, stir and heat on medium until it comes to a boil, stirring frequently. As it nears a boil, you will notice it thickening up. Once it boils, continue boiling for 1 minute. This fully activates the cornstarch.

Step 2

Remove from the heat and stir in the zest, lemon juice and butter (if using). Using the butter gives it a smoother and more refined taste, but you can leave it out if you don't want to use it.

Step 3

Allow to cool completely, pour into a clean small jar, label it and store in the refrigerator.

Step 4

Makes a little more than 1 cup.
