CRANACHAN..

Now, i don't want to upset any Scottish people out there and i'm not claiming that this
recipe is 100% authentic, but i've tried dozens of variations, and my own version (this one)
hits the spot for me.

What you need :

2 pints of double cream
Seeds of 2 Vanilla pods
2 oz caster sugar
2 oz heather honey
8 oz neutral fond
8 oz water
4 fl oz whiskey
4 oz toasted porridge oats
Two and a half hours free-time just before you plan on eating them!

Whip the cream, vanilla & sugar until it holds soft peaks. Quickly whisk the fond & water together then fold into the cream, along with the whiskey, honey & oatmeal.

For the restauranty touch pipe the mix into individual ring moulds lined with acetate or cling film - (Un-used plastic drain-pipe cut into 3" lengths make ideal ring-moulds) or spoon into glasses or bowls. Chill for two hours.

Turn out of the moulds and remove the wrap (if using) and serve with lots of fresh raspberries, raspberry sauce & shortbread biscuits.
