I would eat all of it!

As a kid growing up in West Orange, New Jersey, I was a real Junket girl. When I was old enough, I’d make it for myself the minute I got home from school. My favorites were Raspberry and Vanilla (in that order). I usually found myself unable to wait for the Junket to set, so I would drink the first bowl straight away. As I was a growing girl, I couldn’t get enough. Once the remaining custard was set, I would eat all of it! When I had plans to visit my grandmother in upstate NY, I would remind her to stock her cupboards with Junket beforehand!!

Our favorite dessert: Junket!

As a child growing up in Little Falls NJ in the 40s and early 50s, my mother would make for my sister and me our favorite dessert: Junket! She made it even better by putting a little piece of cardboard on the top; the cardboard had a happy pumpkin-like face cut out; and she sprinkled nutmeg through the openings so that when the cardboard was removed, the happy face remained! That was a delicious dessert and is a very happy memory of mine!
Thank you!

One of my favourite treats!

When I was 5 or 6, living in British Columbia, Canada, I remember my mom buying packs of Junket custard from time to time.  I’m pretty sure it was the raspberry flavour. It was one of my favourite treats! Then it disappeared and no one else I have talked to in my adult life seems to remember it. Every once in a while I would do a little search to see if it surfaced again, and today I was poking around on the net and lo and behold.. JUNKET!  Of course I will have to order a case, for memories sake!

What is summer without home made ice cream!

What is summer without home made ice cream!  When my brother and I saw our mother get out the Junket tablets we knew that we were going to have ice cream.  We would take turns cranking and cranking and didn’t think it was ever going to get hard.  Oh what a treat when it was done!
