After a hearty turkey dinner, serve a light-as-air and totally refreshing dessert. We like the red-hued pomegranate posset for the holidays. Try it tonight.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups 35% cream

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

  • 1/2 cup pomegranate juice

  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds

  • mint leaves, (optional)

Instructions

  • BRING cream, sugar and 
zest to a boil in a large pot set over high. Stir with a wooden spoon until sugar dissolves.

  • BOIL mixture for 3 min without stirring, reducing heat to medium-high if it starts to boil over. Remove from heat and stir in pomegranate juice.

  • STRAIN mixture into 8 individual cups. Cover cups with plastic wrap, pressing onto surface of cream mixture to prevent skin from forming. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hr, preferably overnight. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and mint, if desired, 
just before serving.
