I was first introduced to Recipe #346922 earlier this year, and have enjoyed it very much. So....why not have a lemon version. This is wonderful spread on toast or bagels. And if that wasn't good enough.....try some on steamed vegetables. :) Serving size will vary depending on how you use it.

  • Serve the spread immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use: The spread can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
