3 tbsp sugar

preparation

Lemon syrup

1. Boil the lemon juice and sugar, uncovered, over a high heat in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan for approx. 8 min., or until there is about 100 ml left. Refrigerate the syrup for about 30 minutes.

2. Stir the lemon syrup into the junket and pour into 4 small bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 min., or until cold.

Nutty crunch

3. Toast the almonds and nuts in a dry frying pan for approx. 3 min. over a high heat and then for 3 more minutes over a medium heat – stirring regularly. Allow them to cool, then chop coarsely.

4. Meanwhile, melt the sugar in the pan over a medium heat for approx. 6 min., or until it starts to turn golden. Add the chopped almonds and nuts and stir until completely coated in the melted golden sugar.

5. Pour the nutty crunch out onto a piece of baking parchment and cool completely. Chop coarsely.

6. Serve the cold lemon junket with the nutty crunch.
