Notes

• A Passover kugel — uses matzo meal and potato starch in place of wheat flour and cornstarch. Suitable for Passover.
• The lemon processed with its skin adds a distinctive flavour and texture.
• Sugar quantity: card says 'start with ¾ cup and taste' — ½ cup is the minimum; adjust upward based on sweetness of fruit.
• Sweet red wine: Sabbath/Kiddush wine (sweet kosher red wine) is the traditional choice.
