LOVE this recipe, I used lime instead of lemon juice. Great on fresh corn on the cob. That's how my kids like it. We didn't wait for it to chill, used some of it fresh, keeps longer in the freezer, then cut sections off the log for whatever you need it for. SUPER, my kids ask for it all the time, their favorite on corn.
