Lemon Cups

A lovely spring dessert recipe - the colour of sunshine. Simple and easy to make - perfect to prepare in advance for a dinner party. Great served with coffee and good dark chocolate.

Lemon Cups

4 small lemons - juice and zest

8oz castor or superfine sugar

1 pint double cream

Put all the ingredients into a pan and heat gently, stirring occasionally. Bring to the boil and boil gently for five minutes.

Remove from the heat and leave to stand for ten minutes. Strain through a sieve into small coffee cups or dishes and chill overnight.

Tip: It can be easier to strain into a jug and then pour into the cups.
