[@ConnieHarp]

Your recipes are incredible. They’re all delicious, and I love your presentations, as well. To the point, entertaining but also educational. Hope you continue forever!

Bless you💖

I hadn’t realised how simple lemon posset was! Can’t wait to try this recipe, thank you for sharing! 😍

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

yes absolutely, this will impress people and they won't know how easy it was. Until you tell them about Uncle Matt of course haha

[@coolbirth]

your skate wing brought me here (had visited ages ago with gala pie), and now i've stayed for 11 videos - and will come back for more!

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

Bless you for that 😀

[@4realdustin]

This looks absolutely fabulous! I love the combination of the very rich and the tangy and refreshing as well. This is almost like an English version of American key lime pie minus the crust.

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

I remember having key lime pie when I was a kid and didn't like it, I then made a version a few years ago with regular limes and it was lovely. I've seen that the original version takes a whole lot of squeezing those small Florida limes?

[@4realdustin]

@@unclemattscookerylessons to be on the nose traditional, yes. You could use a handheld juicer, but it would still be a lot of work.

I came from the Welsh Rarebit video! Been coming here off and on since.

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

Thanks so much 👍

After just two videos (branston pickle and lemon posset I'm hooked (and subscribed)

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

Than you so much, I really appreciate that

[@paulhumphries3795]

Just made your Lemon Posset although I had a lemon and a lime, worked great particularly with the added fruit on top, oh and I used a Keto sugar..watch the carbs❤️❤️❤️

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

Thanks Paul, I used xylitol for this one.

[@kestrelle5345]

Easy. Peasy. Lemon Squeezy! 😋

Love posset. I have made several citrus versions. Blood orange was the prettiest and most interesting.

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

Ooh blood orange, I love them

[@janwaller3585]

A new sweet to me . Looks lovely

[@ricksigman3241]

Looks really good! My husband loves anything with a lemon flavor. I will try and make it for him. I also liked and subscribed to your channel. Joy S from Northern Indiana

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

Thanks for subbing! Hope your husband likes it

[@malcolmnock4321]

Thank you so much for video,,you make everything so clear to try yourself,also everything you cook looks and I bet tastes fantastic. Thank you again.

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

Thank you so much Malcolm

[@lindairvine7679]

One word , pukka 😋, I’ll definitely be making these and your bread pudding, thx so much , I’ve subscribed 😃

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

Thanks so much Linda x

[@JoanCramer]

Made this for dessert last night. We were all moaning around the table because it was so good. I made it with some misgivings, though. In all my beloved 19th century novels, they are always feeding posset to invalids, and so I thought it must be bland and boring. Not so! The brightness of the lemon was in perfect balance with the richness of the cream. Thank you for this delight.

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

Thanks so much Joan, I really appreciate your comment. Was a little worried when you said your family was moaning, but in a good way x

[@JoanCramer]

@@unclemattscookerylessons Ha! Definitely in a good way. I just made it again with lime and it was sweet-tart perfection. Thanks again!

[@phyllisjordan8876]

Chef can an orange be used?

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

I think you could go 50/50 orange and lemon. The acidity in the lemon is important to set the cream, you could also finely grate orange zest or even a few drops of orange blossom water?

[@phyllisjordan8876]

Got it - I wondered on the role of the lemon's acidity. Hmmm! Experiment time😃

[@CheoffGeoff]

When you say heavy cream would 35% cream work in this recipe or do you need English double cream?

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

Hi Geoff, good to hear from you. I think usually 40% fat is required for butter but 35 is pretty close, worth a try. Hope things are going well for you and your wife with the hotel?

[@CheoffGeoff]

@@unclemattscookerylessons life is good out here in Gan. Innkeeper life is a lot of hard work but super rewarding. Great to hear from ya. Merry Christmas!

[@moniquem783]

I saw the bread and butter pudding recipe come up and thought mmm, that was the best bread and butter pudding I've ever made. So I did it again! It's winter here so it absolutely hit the spot! Love all of your recipes Uncle Matt. Especially brown sauce. I must do that again soon too!

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

lovely to hear from you Monique, and I really appreciate your comments. Hopefully as you tube is currently recommending the bread and butter pudding video, there will be some spill over to my other content. It's so frustrating seeing just one video getting all the views, I think the content I make now is a better quality but they're not getting the views, shame?

[@moniquem783]

@@unclemattscookerylessons it really is a shame. You’ve got some amazing content. It seems so weird to me that your videos barely get recommended when they recommend some channels non stop, regardless of whether you’ve watched a video lately or not. I haven’t watched a Claire Saffitz (is that her name? She used to be on Bon Appetit) video for at least 2 years I reckon. I just decided one day she was too annoyingly American and I stopped watching. They still recommend every video she releases. But every now and then I realise it’s ages since I’ve seen you post anything so I look you up and there’s 2 or 3 videos that I haven’t seen and I know I would have watched them if I’d gotten the notification or if it had been in my recommendations. And don’t even get me started on recommendations for topics I have zero interest in. Recently it seems KZbin has decided I should declutter. Doesn’t matter how many times I click not interested, more videos pop up. I wish I knew why they were showing me that crap instead of things I want to watch like your videos!! I just scrolled through and looked at your views. Wow they’re really all over the place aren’t they! And the bread and butter pudding is insane! I wonder though. Could that be trending because it’s a cheap dessert do you think? With the cost of living etc maybe people are looking for that kind of thing at the moment. Posset is fairly cheap and doesn’t need the oven but I don’t know how many people would actually search for that and stumble across yours. I mean, I’ve searched posset, but I’m weird lol. Maybe try doing a few other cheap dishes. Or nostalgic might be a nicer word. Bubble and squeak has reasonable views. And a lot of pies. Nostalgic and cheap. Maybe rice pudding, something with tinned corned beef, pies with potatoes in the filling to bulk it out and reduce the amount of meat needed, maybe suet crust steamed steak and onion or steak and kidney, but find a way to do it with a cheap cut of meat and add potato. You could recreate some of the puddings from school dinners too. Huge nostalgia factor there. I know that’s not really what your channel is about, but perhaps a few more like that would draw in a bunch of new regulars and maybe then you’ll start getting recommended. It can’t hurt to try right? There must be some secret milestone you need to hit to get recommended reliably. We’ve just got to find out what it is. I’m thinking perhaps it’s over 1K views on each video for a length of time or something like that. So new regulars might make all the difference.

[@lawrencerogers576]

I shall try it without the sugar.

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

Might be a bit too sharp, I used xylitol in this recipe, fools me into thinking it's not fattening haha

[@lawrencerogers576]

@@unclemattscookerylessons Like you, I am on keto. I shall try it.

[@MrHullRockers]

Great to hear that your channel has had a boost Matt, your recipes are really good and you explain things so well so it's long overdue. I'm trying to take better care of myself and was wondering if that posset would thicken up without the sugar in it? I'm sure it would taste lovely with just a creamy tangy edge without sweetness from the sugar and I've noticed that since I'm not eating so much sugar now strawberries and blueberries on their own taste much sweeter than I remember so I think that bit of fruit on the top would be enough for me.

[@unclemattscookerylessons]

Firstly thanks, and yes it's the acid and cooking that thickens this pud. I use xylitol which is far lower in carbs than the totally poisonous sugar. You're right about your taste changing when you cut out sugar, all fruit tastes much sweeter to me now.
