Apple Cider Syrup

This is a recipe from my mission president's wife. I remember having breakfast at the mission home in Japan--thick french toast, topped with yogurt and this syrup. It also goes well on pancakes and German Apple Pancakes.

• 2 cups sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 4 cups apple juice or cider (1 liter works also)
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine

Mix all ingredients except for the butter in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat and add margarine.

Serve with sour cream or plain yogurt.
