Lemon Balsamic Posset

Servings: 4
Chill Time: 4 hours or overnight
Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream

2/3 cup (135 g) granulated sugar

2-3 tablespoons JD Gourmet Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional, for extra tartness)

Lemon zest (for garnish)

Fresh berries or mint (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Combine cream and sugar:
In a medium saucepan, add the heavy cream and granulated sugar. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture starts to gently boil.

2. Simmer:
Once it begins to boil, reduce the heat slightly and allow it to simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Watch carefully to prevent boiling over.

3. Add lemon balsamic vinegar and lemon juice:
Remove from heat and stir. The mixture will begin to thicken slightly as the acid reacts with the cream.

4. Pour and chill:
Pour the mixture into small dessert glasses, or scooped italian lemons. Let cool slightly at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

5. Serve:
Garnish with lemon zest, berries, or mint leaves just before serving.

Espresso Balsamic Glazed Steak with Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

For the steak & glaze:

2 ribeye or strip steaks (about 1-inch thick)

2 tbsp olive oil (JD Gourmet Garlic Olive Oil works perfectly if you have it)

Salt & freshly cracked black pepper

½ cup JD Gourmet Espresso Barrel-Aged Balsamic Vinegar

2 tbsp brown sugar or honey

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped

For the garlic mashed potatoes:

4 large Yukon gold potatoes, peeled & quartered

3 tbsp butter

½ cup cream (warm)

2 cloves roasted garlic, mashed

Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the glaze

In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar/honey, garlic, Dijon mustard, and rosemary.

Bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce until it thickens into a glossy glaze (about 8–10 minutes). Keep warm.

2. Cook the potatoes

Boil potatoes in salted water until fork tender (about 15 minutes).

Drain, then mash with butter, roasted garlic, and cream. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Cook the steaks

Pat steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper.

Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Sear steaks 3–4 minutes per side (for medium rare, adjust to preference).

Brush with some glaze during the last minute of cooking.

4. Plate and serve

Serve steaks over a bed of garlic mashed potatoes.

Drizzle extra espresso balsamic glaze over the top.

Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs.

The result: a juicy, savory steak with a subtle coffee-kissed balsamic glaze that balances richness with tang, perfect alongside creamy garlic mashed potatoes.
