Lemon Posset

Roasted Apricot

Method

Lemon Posset

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cream Mixture

    In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer. Do not boil.

  2. 2

    Add Lemon Juice and Zest

    Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest until well combined.

  3. 3

    Chill the Mixture

    Pour the mixture into serving cups or bowls. Allow to cool at room temperature for a few minutes before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Roasted Apricot

  1. 4

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 5

    Prepare the Apricots

    Halve the ripe apricots and remove the pits. Place them cut side up on a baking sheet.

  3. 6

    Season and Roast

    Drizzle the honey over the apricots and sprinkle with cinnamon. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until softened and slightly caramelized.

Lavender Shortbread

  1. 7

    Cream the Butter and Sugar

    In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

  2. 8

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, dried culinary lavender, and salt.

  3. 9

    Combine and Form Dough

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix until a dough forms.

  4. 10

    Shape and Chill

    Divide the dough into two logs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  5. 11

    Preheat Oven and Slice

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Unwrap the chilled dough and slice into ¼-inch thick rounds.

  6. 12

    Bake the Shortbread

    Place the rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
