So, what is junket?
Junket is a dairy-based food ingredient that is made by curdling milk with rennet, a complex of enzymes extracted from the stomach of a young cow or sheep. It is then heated and flavored with sugar and vanilla to create a sweet, creamy, and slightly tangy dessert. Junket can be served cold or at room temperature and is often garnished with fresh fruit or whipped cream. This unique ingredient has a smooth texture and a mild flavor that is reminiscent of custard or pudding. It can be used in a variety of desserts, including pies, puddings, and cakes, and is a popular ingredient in traditional English and Scandinavian cuisine.
