Junket is a healthful and dainty dessert made simply of pure milk, and containing enough of the active principle of rennet found in the Junket Tablet to coagulate the milk. It is nutritious and has the added advantage of being easily digested.

Milk or cream that has been boiled, sterilized, condensed or evaporated cannot be used in making junket, and care must be taken not to heat the milk more than lukewarm, as hot milk spoils the action of the tablet.

For diabetic patients Sweetina may be used as a substitute for sugar in these recipes.
