How To Make Syllabub Food

SYLLABUB

Steps:

• Heat the sugar and wine on low heat in a 1 1/2 quart saucepan until the sugar dissolves; stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat and slowly add in the half-and-half.
• Beat until frothy; chill completely, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Pour into glasses, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with nutmeg.

RHUBARB & GINGER SYLLABUB

Steps:

• Put the rhubarb, root ginger, sugar and white wine in a pan, bring to the boil and simmer on a low heat for 4-5 mins until the rhubarb has softened. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• In another bowl, whisk the mascarpone, double cream and icing sugar to soft peaks. Remove 4 tbsp cooled rhubarb and mash with a fork, then fold into the cream mixture.
• Divide the rest of the poached rhubarb between 4 glasses, reserving a bit. Spoon over the cream mixture, then top with a few pieces of crystallised ginger and the rest of the rhubarb. Can be chilled for several hours before serving.

LEMON SYLLABUB

Steps:

• Whip the cream and sugar together until soft peaks form. Stir in the wine, most of the lemon zest and the juice. Spoon into glasses or bowls, sprinkle with the remaining zest and serve with almond thins or berries.

A COUNTRY SYLLABUB

Steps:

• Put all ingredients in blender and blend until frothy.
• Pour into parfait or Sherry glasses and let stand 2 or 3 hours at room temperature.

HONEY SYLLABUB

Steps:

• Put 1/2 cup cream and the bay leaf into a small saucepan; cook over medium heat until almost simmering. Remove from heat. Cover, and let steep 30 minutes. Refrigerate until very cold, about 40 minutes. Discard bay leaf.
• Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Add mead; whisk until thick and glossy, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl set over an ice-water bath, and whisk occasionally until cool, about 30 minutes.
• Put remaining 1/2 cup cream, the bay leaf-infused cream, and nutmeg into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Fold into wine mixture. Refrigerate up to 2 hours. Serve garnished with sugared bay leaves.

AN EVERLASTING SYLLABUB

Steps:

• Grate the lemon rind finely, squeeze the juice and mix both with the white wine, Madeira and sugar.
• Add nutmeg and beat in the heavy cream gradually with an electric beater or wire whisk. Beat until the cream forms soft peaks, but don't overbeat or the cream will become too dense.
• Spoon the mixture into parfait or Sherry glasses and chill or serve at room temperature. If you want the cream and liquor to separate, make syllabub several hours ahead.
• When ready to serve, garnish each glass with a sprig of rosemary, mint, lavender or a twist of lemon.

LEMON CURD SYLLABUB

Steps:

• Set out 4 serving glasses and crumble a biscuit in each one, use half of the wine to moisten the crumbs.
• Whip the cream together with the sugar until you have soft peaks.
• Fold in the remaining wine, after that the lemon curd, try to achieve a marbled effect.
• Spoon into the glasses, sprinkle with the almonds, garnish with the mint and serve.

RASPBERRY SYLLABUB

Steps:

• Whisk first 5 ingredients in medium bowl until sugar dissolves. Beat cream in large bowl to stiff peaks. Fold whipped cream into wine mixture. Divide mixture among 8 wineglasses. Cover and refrigerate overnight (syllabub mixture will separate). Sprinkle with berries and serve.

LEMON SYLLABUB

Steps:

• Whip the cream and sugar in a chilled bowl, until the cream begins to thicken. Gradually whip in the white wine, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Continue to whip until light and fluffy, but not grainy. Cover the mixture and chill until serving time.
• Serve in chilled parfait glasses, garnished with a dash of nutmeg, a sprig of mint, and a slice of lemon. Syllabub should be eaten with a small spoon, and savored.
