Method

  1. Put the cream in a pan with the tangerine zest and bring to a simmer. Turn off the heat and leave to infuse for 20 minutes.
  2. Fish out the zest and bring the cream back up to just below boiling. Stir in the sugar and then the juices. The mixture will start to thicken so pour it straight into 6 small glasses or pots. Cool slightly then chill until set, about 3 hours.

    I've made this with tangerines and I've made it with lemons; it's absolutely superb with either and very easy to tailor depending on your pallette. I like lemon desserts a little sharper so I simply put less sugar in. If you're making this and need it to set quicker, just pop it in the freezer, it sets in about an hour! Perfect serving size is a ramekin, this recipe makes about 6 ramekins full.

    This was delicious. Made & served in vintage tea cups at a dinner party. I also added a few tinned mandarins to each cup with a few shredded peels on top...looked amazing. As with all posset need to be really careful not to boil.
