1/4 c. Crisco
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. grated lemon peel
3 c. confectioners' sugar (sift if lumpy)
Several drops yellow food coloring, if desired
1 tbsp. lemon juice

Combine Crisco, salt, lemon peel, 1 cup of sugar and food coloring, if desired. Add lemon juice, water and remaining sugar alternately; mix until smooth and creamy. Add more sugar to thicken or water to thin, if needed for good spreading consistency.
