Junket Recipe

FROM RH, Toowoomba, QLD

I love junket, but didn't eat much of it due to the sugar I like to add. Now that I can use xylitol instead I can indulge myself whenever I want... Basically I just substitute 1 teaspoon of xylitol for 2 teaspoons of sugar. It tastes great.

Ingredients:

• 1 junket tablet (I buy them at the supermarket, the flavoured ones)
• 250 ml cold milk
• 1 teaspoon xylitol

Method:

• Mix a splash of the 250 ml of cold milk with the xylitol and the junket tablet. You might have to crush the tablet to get it to dissolve nicely.
• Warm up the remainder of the milk, to blood temperature.
• Add the warm milk to the xylitol/junket tablet/milk mixture, stir it to mix and let it rest outside of the fridge.
• Once the junket has set you can put it in the fridge.

I like to eat the junket as is, but some people like to add some fruit, or cream.
