Lime / Lemon - Either of the citrus fruits can be used to add the zing to the fruit sauce. Lime Juice and Lime Zest is added in the recipe.
Sugar / Maple Syrup/ Honey - Any sweetener of your choice can be used - my preference is Maple Syrup for its natural sweetness and liquid nature. However when Maple syrup is not available, I end up using white sugar.
