YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Food The Canny Cook Lime and raspberry possets recipe By Eleanor Maidment - June 26, 2022 A summery twist on a classic lemon posset. Use frozen raspberries to further lower costs – and you can double the recipe to feed a crowd. The latest change I have made in the bid to beat rising food bills is to be less brand loyal. I usually shop on autopilot, picking up the labels I have always bought. (I’ve also heard that big brands pay to be stocked in premium eye-level positions on shelves, so maybe that’s sucked me in too.) Now I am trying to take my time to weigh up the options. In almost all cases, supermarket own-label products have significantly lower price tags than the big brands – but it’s hit and miss as to whether the quality and taste is as good. I’m working on a trial-and-error basis, but in a lot of cases I’m happy to say I can’t tell the difference. This is quite likely because I have it on good authority that items including soy sauce, yogurt and biscuits are often made by the big brands for supermarkets, so the products are very similar (usually just a few tweaks to the recipes). Current swaps I am very impressed with are Lidl’s baked beans, Sainsbury’s tomato ketchup and Aldi’s washing-up liquid. And if you find these swaps spark any resistance from your household, take inspiration from a rather crafty friend of mine who keeps a branded bottle of ketchup and refills it regularly with a supermarket alternative. No one has figured it out yet! Lime and raspberry possets recipe Holly Exley METHOD Put 400ml double cream, 100g caster sugar and the zest of 5 limes in a saucepan. Heat gently, swirling occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved, then simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the juice of the 5 limes, then set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Place 100g raspberries in a sieve set over a bowl. Press with a wooden spoon to make a purée. Discard the seeds. Put a small teaspoon of the purée into the base of 4 small glasses or espresso cups. Clean the sieve, then pour the lime cream mixture through it into a jug (discard the zest). Very lightly ripple the remaining purée through the lime cream, then pour into the glasses. Chill for at least 4-6 hours, ideally overnight, before serving. Do you have a great recipe for eating well and cutting food bills? Email [email protected].
