and beaters thoroughly.
Variants of this confection were made much earlier than Mozart's time. Syllabub is a
favorite at my yearly Mozart's Birthday Party, our grand finale. All writers & poets
present complain about their waistlines and then eat it anyway.
1
1
lemon --juice and grated rind
cup white wine (from medium to very dry; pick your favorite – I've even used
champagne)
1
2
2
/2 cup dry sherry
cups heavy whipping cream, very cold
cups powdered (confectioner's) sugar
(2 bowls, chilled)
Blend the wine and sherry with the lemon juice. Whip cream in the chilled bowl, adding
lemon rind, and, slowly, the sugar. (If you use a hand mixer, there will be a cloud of dust,
so don't do this in your Sunday Best!)
Add the wine/sherry/lemon juice mixture gradually to the cream and sugar mixture,
whipping as you go. It may take as long as fifteen minutes to thicken.
Pour or spoon into wine glasses. Cover with cling wrap and set for two to three days in
the refrigerator. It will slowly separate into a clear layer and a cream layer. To be served
at the end of your candlelit 18th Century dinner.
About the Author: Juliet Waldron is proud mother of two sons, grandma to three
granddaughters, and is honored to be the servant of four cats. Married as a teen, she's still
married, and to the same guy, which shows her natural stick-to-it-iveness.
Storytelling, and storytelling about the past, comes naturally because her family loved
nothing better while gathered round the dinner table than a tall tale. She grew up in a now
vanished rural US and enjoys books, all kinds of music--and an unencumbered outlook.
She has no degrees of interest, but does have a library card (and now a computer) with
which to carry on obsessive researches into various historical figures. Her first published
work, MOZART'S WIFE, may be found at Online Originals.
