   How about syllabub? This is something different I only just heard of. Aparently it was popular at holiday parties in the 1700s. Make it more liquidy and it’s a drink; make it thicker, and it’s a dessert! I saved the recipe, but I have yet to make it. Here it is:

   Syllabub

   Ingredients:

   2 cups of whipped cream

   ½ cup of white sugar

   1/8 cup of white wine/apple cider

   1/8 cup of freshly-squeezed lemon juice and zest of lemon

   grated nutmeg

   sprig of mint

   lemon slice

   Method:

   Whip cream until thick in a chilled bowl. When the cream begins to thicken, add the sugar, white wine, lemon juice and zest of lemon. Continue to whip until thick. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Spoon the mixture into footed parfait glasses and garnish with a sprig of mint, a slice of lemon and a sprinkle of grated nutmeg.
