I have also made lemon posset, slightly different in technique in that I boil the cream with the sugar and add the lemon juice then allow to cool. It is quite surprising to see how the lemon juice instantly thickens the cream. It is very easy and really tasty. Try adding a drop or two of sherry to make into a syllabub.

Hows that going? I made my kids watch that about a year ago, and it was a bit painful TBH. Slow moving, pretty dated, could feel the kids boredom - I was really disappointed !

Ended up doing this tonight - on a bit of an Asian kick since the Asian supermarket is still open and the dishes work with lesser cuts or just straight less meat.
Was pretty tasty, we have some crazy asian chilli oil which had me sweating into my bowl
Dude! That looks fabulous! I love Asian food and especially spicy Asian food. Did you get your hands on all those ingredient? Black Rice vinegar???
I did, and I actually have you to thank for it - because right next to the (closed) Neat Meats that you sent me to, is the Asian grocer who remains open! I spent 15mins in there trying to find what I needed for this recipe and the sichaun beef one, and was a solid 5 things short And thinking the dream was over, until the owner bloke came to help me and found what I was missing in 45 seconds (all labelled in Chinese).
So thanks! 👍😁👍
Ha! Perfect!! Fern to rescue again, albeit by fluke.
This thread is be far my favourite at the moment. So many inspiring dishes.
It's awesome eh, even for a basic bugger like me. Just about to start on a chutney after @taniwharugby mentioned it. You mentioned brisket, I have one sitting in brine in the fridge ready for this weekend with homemade sauerkraut and crusty bread.

I read that dissolving the sugar in the lemon made a smoother result. Probably less chance of being grainy.
Have no proof. -

Better than I expected actually. They're pretty engrosssed. The threshold is low though.. they don't watch a massive amount of modern movies.

Crucial, can I sub in limes for lemon? Our lime tree is full of fruit
It may have just been a seasonal thing when I was in NZ at Xmas, but a tree full of limes would have a street value of about 42,000,000 NZD.

This doesn't fully absolve you from your apple butter debacle, but its a start.

Fucken hell, first @R-L and now you. I'm not the origin of the apple butter on this thread...

I can never understand why lines and commercially grown in NZ and we pay a fortune for imports.
Even in Wellington weather have a tree growing in a pot that produces ok.
Other folk I know have well established trees that produce more than they can use. -
So last nights third of a brisket turned out marvellous. I also did the potatoes as others have done but a squeeze a lemon over them once cool too. Then into beef dripping.
That with steamed beans made for a lovely dinner. Sauce was banging too but I didn’t take photo.

@Hooroo Trying not to sound critical, but shouldn't all that fat have rendered down during the cook? To be fair it's a big old fat cap though.
No, Usually if doing on a smoker for all those hours, you would trim away the majority of this fat

@Crucial I had so many over summer they ended up being left and pretty much turned into lemons haha
which is good cos my lemon tree didnt produce much, grapefruit has alot of fruit this year waiting to ripen, loves me some grapefruit juice!
-
@shark said in Recipes, home grown goodness, BBQing and food stuff:
@Hooroo So you just left it on?
Yes, bearing in mind that this was cur into thirds in the end and done in slowcooker with a homemade BBQ sauce. I am going to do the low and slow thing with a whole brisket on Sunday or maybe Monday.

Ahhh gotcha! Sorry, I thought for some reason you were smoking it and thought it was an odd result! Can't wait to see how the whole brisket looks.

By the way, I'm currently savouring the aroma coming off a beef cheek rendang in my slow cooker. One of my absolute favourites. I love slow-cooked beef cheeks fullstop, but with rendang sauce (yes, a sauce as opposed to a dry rendang because my family needs the coconut cream to dilute the heat a bit) they're sublime.
