Lemon syllabub

Grandma and Grandad are staying at the moment, and made this for tea, after a hard day's work planting potatoes at the allotment.

This makes enough for 4. You'll need:

a carton of whipping cream (about 250-300 ml)
50 ml white wine
juice of a lemon
zest of two lemons
50g caster sugar

Put the caster sugar and whipping cream together into a mixing bowl, and whip until you've got soft peaks of cream. Carefully stir in the wine and lemon juice, and most of the lemon zest (you
need to save a bit to sprinkle on the top of the pudding at the end).

Decant into little ramekins or pretty glasses, sprinkle the remaining lemon zest on top, and serve with some lemony biscuits. It would also be lovely with some raspberries, I suspect.
