About Desserts, rennin, tablets, unsweetened

Junket is an old-fashioned, gently set milk dessert made by warming sweetened milk and stirring in rennet, the same enzyme used to curdle milk for cheese. As it stands, the rennet softly coagulates the milk into a delicate, custard-like pudding that quivers on the spoon and practically dissolves on the tongue — lighter and more tender than a baked custard, since it is never cooked hard. Flavored simply with sugar, vanilla, or a dusting of nutmeg, it was a fixture on tables across Britain and America from the Victorian era into the mid-twentieth century, valued as an easy, soothing food for children and for anyone recovering from illness.

Nutritionally it mirrors the milk it is made from, offering calcium, protein, and vitamin B12 in a soft, easy-to-eat form. Junket tablets and powders, sometimes sold under long-running brand names, still let home cooks recreate it, and the same rennet-setting principle lives on in the New England treat known as junket ice cream.
