Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Squeeze the juice from the lemons by cutting them in half. Pour the lemon juice into a glass. You will need 225 ml of juice (do not use more or less, as the lemon juice will react chemically with the cream).
Step 2
Combine the cream, lemon pulp, and sugar (250 grams) in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once the sugar has dissolved, let the mixture simmer for another 3 minutes over low heat. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Strain through a sieve into a cup. Discard the pulp from the sieve.
Step 3
Skim the foam off the posset and pour it into 6 whiskey glasses. Allow to cool. Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
Step 4
Before serving, prepare the fruits. Cut the rhubarb into 1 cm diamonds. Halve the plums and remove the pits. Cut the halves lengthwise, then into 4 pieces. For black currants, remove them from the stems and discard the tails.
Step 5
Heat a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped butter and wait until it starts to foam. Then add the rhubarb and plums. Sauté the fruits for 5 minutes until they begin to soften. Next, add the blackberries or black currants (if using), sugar, cinnamon sticks, and star anise. Split the vanilla pods in half, scrape out the seeds, and add both the seeds and the pods to the saucepan. Mix the fruits well, add the rum (if using), and cook for another 5-8 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat, discard the whole spices and vanilla pods, and add the blackberries and raspberries.
Step 6
Serve the posset chilled. Garnish with fruits on top.
