Egg and Lemon Sauce by Nancy T. Maar
This is delicious with fish. You can also serve it with cold shrimp or on a seafood salad. The homemade mayonnaise has enough of a sweet taste that you don't have to add any sugar to this recipe.

Egg Sauces
Raw or hard-boiled eggs are essential to certain sauces. If you are worried about getting sick from eating raw eggs, buy pasteurized eggs. The acid in jemon juice and vinegar neutralizes bacteria. If you're still skeptical, whisk the eggs and the other liquid ingredients in a double boiler until the eggs thicken. Cool and continue with the recipe.
