How to make a Lemon Posset.
Lemon Posset is one of those ancient desserts that seems to have fallen out of favour. Originally an alcoholic beverage for wedding nuptials made of sugar, spices and eggs, similar to a boozy custard. Over time the eggs and the booze were taken out leaving one of the simplest desserts you could ever make.
Ingredients
3 Lemons juice and zest
1 pint Double Cream
150g Caster Sugar
Bring Sugar and Cream to boil, add lemons and zest simmer for three minutes.
Sieve the mixture and pour into ramekins or tea cups.
Leave at least three hours in fridge to set, but a longer time will set the cream thicker.
Decorate with lemon zest or slices of Lemon
Serve with Shortbread biscuits.
