Lemon posset with raspberry compote and thyme from Sunlight and Breadcrumbs: Making Food with Creativity and Curiosity (page 269) by Renee Erickson and Sara Dickerman

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Easy to make and a refreshing end to a meal. The compote was very nice, but like many sub-recipies in the book, the proportion was way off. It felt right to use a tablespoon or two on the posset. The recipe makes 4 possets, so that's about 4-8 tbs necessary. Instead, it is written with 3+ pints of raspberries. We could have easily had enough with 1 pint or maybe two. Now I have a big bowl of compote to figure out to use up. Suggestions welcome.

    This was the finale for our cookbook group meal that was based on recipes from all three of Renee Erickson's cookbooks. It is a wonderful light dessert with the zing of the lemon offset by the sweetness of the raspberry compote. The colors contrast nicely too. Along with the compote we had the Walnut Brutti ma Buoni Cookies (p. 243-244).
