    Well, this was a lovely introduction to Chef Aaron Middleton over a lemon posset. It is hot summer here (south central BC) and this will be perfect for summer gatherings (we have a lot of birthdays to celebrate 'round our house). Berry season is upon us and I have lemons in the fridge. Might have to hunt for double cream..... Thanks for this special recipe, and, nice to meet you, Aaron.

    Double cream is a much richer version of North American heavy cream. If that's what you have, increase the amount of cream by 30% or so and boil the mixture for 8-10 minutes instead of two.

    @@chefaaronmiddleton It went very well, especially since I had never heard of that method of thickening. I just reduced the cream until I saw a hint of fat separationand then followed the rest of the recipe. I did an additional try, substituting lemon juice for pureed cherries with a bit of citric acid. Worked out great too. While the classic is great, I am willing to bet the recipe is pretty versatile :D Though I wonder how much you can reduce the sugar before the emulsion becomes unstable. Further testing required 😄

    ​@@ashamancito4630I bet you could reduce the cream quite a bit since milk with a bit of sugar (or none at all) reduces into true dulce de leche where the caramelization of the natural sugars in the milk create that beautiful caramel color.

    There's no such thing as 'double cream' in my country...The highest %fat I could find here is 33%. Unfortunately, I didn't work, too low. Even after 24 hours it was still liquidy. Welp, I ate it the way it is, delicious nevertheless. But I wish I could make it more creamy like it should be. Btw, I still don't get why do we have to boil the cream? Just because of sugar? So I would use liquid sweeteners instead, does it mean I can skip this part?
