Check out this video on preparing an 18th Century
syllabub, courtesy of Colonial Williamsburg, NPR,
and my fellow ALHFAMers (particularly those who
shared this on the Organization’s list-serv).
As it says, “Do try this at home.” It’ll definitely
add a delicious (and historic) delight to your
own New Year’s festivities! And fortunately,
a syllabub receipt (recipe) is included below
the video window. Or just follow Frank’s
instructions as he prepares it.
Incidentally, in colonial America (that’d be
the 17th, 18th, and even the very early
19th centuries), New Year’s and Twelfth
Night (January 6) were celebrated more
often than Christmas.
Cheers to all. HUZZAH!
