"This recipe was derived from a recipe that I found years ago and adapted to our tastes. It can also be made vegetarian by omitting crab or chicken. Tip: When lemons are bountiful and in season, squeeze juice from lemons and remove seeds. Pour into ice cube trays, freeze until solid. When frozen, store in freezer bags. Thaw cubes as needed for soups, dressings & sauces."
