Lemon Mead Sabayon with Fresh Berries
Ingredients
- 8 Large Egg yolks
- 1.5 Cups Sugar
- 1.25 Cups Mead
- 1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
- Zest from 1 Lemon
- 1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 2 Cups Assorted Fresh Berries
- Mint and Lemon Zest for garnish
Instructions
- Cut strawberries and place in glasses with other berries.
- Set up a double boiler by putting about an inch of water in a pot on the stove and getting a stainless steel mixing bowl that will fit over the pot without allowing the steam to get in the bowl.
- Place sugar, eggs, lemon juice, and zest in the bowl and whisk in the mixing bowl over boiling water. Beat like a hollandaise until the egg mixture becomes frothy and pale. But, don't allow the eggs to scramble. Drizzle in the mead, and continue whisking vigorously until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and pour over your berries in a glass. Garnish and Serve while still warm. Or, you can allow it to cool slightly.
Notes
For a different take, try the sabayon with other fruits like poached pears or Summer stone fruit like plums or necatarines.
