This is an old fashion dessert that has been lost in time but with TMX having the preset blood heat temp (37oC) it's easy peasy and super fast! Dessert can be made just as you're serving tea and chilled while your eatting and ready for after!
Junket
Number of People:4
Ingredients:
1L Milk
4 tsp sugar
1/4tsp of Junket Powder
Flavour of choice - some suggestions include:
- Vanilla
3 tsp coffee
50g grated chocolate
peel of 1 orange
lemon peel
Toppings:
- roasted coconut
cinnamon or nutmeg
grated chocolate
peel
fruit
Preparation:
Bring milk, flavour and sugar to blood heat temp 37oC speed 1
Have dessert glasses ready - this has to be done quick - mix junket with a little water (1tbsp) tip through TMX lid while on speed 2 for 2 seconds - QUICK pour milk into glasses and don't move glasses until set. Any big movement with these and the mix splits. Top with choice of Topping - Enjoy! ;)
Tips/Hints: Any flavour works even coffee syrups and liquors
What's your favourite flavour??

bellesy - We're having this tonight and I've flavoured it with 1.5 tablespoons of strawberry Nesquik (as I miss those flavoured junket tablets). It tastes just the way I remembered it! Using (full fat) flavoured milk instead of plain milk might also be a way to have a range of flavours.
JD - I like the sound of coffee junket andie. Made the plain version today but it was pretty tasteless so next time will use some of Chookies iced-coffee syrup and see how that goes.
andiesenji - My dad always loved coffee-flavored junket. I didn't have a specific recipe, used espresso brewed in a moka pot, and mixed with full-cream milk to make a pint of liquid, sugar substitute (Splenda) because my dad was also diabetic - just to taste, perhaps a teaspoon full, heat the liquid just till it's warm. I dissolve one Junket Rennet tablet in a tablespoon of cold water, stir it into the milk/espresso mixture and pour it into custard cups.
It sets rapidly and my dad always wanted to eat it as soon as it was set but the rest went into the fridge and when he would get up during the night, he always had one for a snack.
I've made a mocha junket and piled foamed milk on the top - I am not a big fan of sweetened whipped cream - and the foamed or frothed milk is light and airy with a milky taste that complements the mocha.
Again, I don't have a recipe for it, just make the mocha to taste with espresso and milk to which I add cocoa mix until it tastes right and then I add the rennet dissolved in a tablespoon of cold water - one tablet to one pint of liquid which would be a little less than half a litre for you.
ILB - Well made this for dessert tonight as I've had the junket powder in the cupboard for nearly a year and hadn't tried it yet. So thanks Nay Nay. We added some cocoa (next time I'd dissolve it properly) and DD loved it and told me a couple of times how delicious it was. I made 1 Lt which is too much for us really, so will try a smaller qty next time.
Nay-nay - 500ml is plenty for 2 dessert glasses and only need 1/8 tsp of powder.

I love the texture of junket. Where do you buy junket powder though? We used to use junket tablets back in the dim dark ages.
-
You could probably walk there JD http://www.simplyjunket.com.au/ (http://www.simplyjunket.com.au/)
They will provide you with local stockists
Well done nay-nay - I love junket too. My brother used to chew each mouthful for ages !!!
-
Thanks Thermomixer, yes I can walk to an IGA supermarket but in this weather this old girl isn't walking anywhere! I would love to have seen your brother chewing junket ??? ??? ???
-
Junket...............mmmmm a lot of memories there.
-
I haven't had junket in years!!! Yummmmm
-
Your welcome! ;) Yes I just picked up that brand in the link at my local IGA. It was much more expensive then I thought it would be - about 7-8 dollars but it does last. And only comes in powder not tablets like it used to. :)

Junket brings back childhood memories.

For fifty years one of my favorite ice cream recipes is made with Junket rennet.
I still buy the tablets, although I order mine from Amazon in the multi-pack because I also use it for cheese making and use quite a bit.
Buying this way each package costs $2.20 and I get free 2nd day shipping. One package costs $5.81 so the savings are significant.
I also buy the vegetarian liquid rennet to use when I am preparing foods for vegetarians or vegans.
I also have a very old Junket Rennet recipe book printed in 1940.
There are a few recipes on line, like this site: http://oldrecipebook.com/junketrennetrecipes.shtml
Some of the other recipe sites have individual recipes that use Junket rennet but you have to dig to find them.
Back in the early-1960s there was a recipe book in print for a very brief time titled Junket 'n Jello but the two companies had legal differences and the book was yanked from bookstores and grocery stores where it was sold.
Shortly afterward Jello expanded their line of puddings. No reference to Junket to be found in any of their recipe books - I have several from different eras.

Andie you are a wealth of knowledge.

My dad always loved coffee-flavored junket. Every time I visited him in the past few years, that was his first request after greeting me.
"Did you bring the "fixings" for the coffee custard?" and if I had neglected to pack them in my van, I would have to go to the market, as soon as I had my luggage unloaded, and shop for the ingredients.
I didn't have a specific recipe, used espresso brewed in a moka pot, and mixed with full-cream milk to make a pint of liquid, sugar substitute (Splenda) because my dad was also diabetic - just to taste, perhaps a teaspoon full, heat the liquid just till it's warm.

Oh Andie, that's a lovely story!
I remember junket, I loved it! I've never thought to look for it in the shops. Thanks for the link to the online store. I might try amazon too.

Think I told this before, but my brother used to chew junket ?? We all had to wait til he'd finished before we could leave the table !
The coffee junket does sound good - maybe some coffee liqueur ?
-
Lol - can picture it in my mind's eye Thermomixer...

Yes a nice Bailey's Cream for after the kids go to bed. ;)

If you added some lecithin powder it would be even more stable to serve for guests? Not that it needs to stay frothy for long before being devoured.

I have a frothing appliance, (naturally, being an appliance fanatic) called a Froth au Lait Froth 'n Sauce. which turns a very small amount of of milk into a huge amount of foam which is much more stable than steam-frothed milk.
I got it after burning my hand on the steam from my old espresso machine.
-
Spectacularly easy!!!! And healthy enough to have them regularly. ;)
-
That looks lovely Nay-Nay.
-
Looks great Nay-Nay!

They'll need to turn your house into a museum like Julia Child's kitchen (not wishing ill, but it must be an amazing collection.
Good pic Nay-Nay & very healthy - especially when the cow out the back is producing the milk.

I mentioned in another thread that some of my oldest mixers have been loaned to a museum for an exhibit.
However there are also toasters that I won't lend out, some rather unique.
I have far too many to display them all but from time to time set out a few for a mini display. As I don't use all the bedrooms in my house I am considering converting one into a display space.
You can see some of my collection here:

Please disregard the dust! ;D
-
What an amazing collection Andie. Do you have family interested in keeping this collection going or is this just your interest. I love the old fashioned toasters - nothing toasts better than they do. I still have one here in case my automatic one kicks the bucket.
-
I'm afraid I sort of took this a bit off topic. However, I'll answer your question.
Some of my toasters are going to the toaster museum: http://www.toaster.org/
Other appliances will be sold or auctioned. I have a standing offer for most of my mixer collection and some of the other appliances, from a company that supplies props for movies. I have a huge, vintage stove that I have agreed to sell to them for a proposed film.
Some of the stuff is going "home" so to speak because a lot of the stuff I bought at the MGM auction many years ago, was kitchen stuff from the 1930s.
Of course, if I fall on hard times, I can always sell the stuff to supplement my pension... ;D
-
WOW!!Great stuff! It would go well on a show we have here called 'Collectors'. We love that show. ;)

Did they come to see you for props for Julie & Julia ?? Amazing how much you have got - have to show MrsT so that maybe she will let me encroach on another room.
-
No, I think that production company had a different props supplier.
It's been a while since anything was used in any significant film and many times the scenes don't make it through editing.
My beautiful coffee service with the urn that has clear red bakelite handles, with the tray, creamer, sugar, etc., was used in a scene in The Great Gatsby but that part of the breakfast scene never got into theaters.
Some were in Moonstruck. Some were used in Somethings Got To Give. Those are the only ones I can think of off hand.
