Tia's Tartan

Tia has been investigating the traditional Scottish tartan. As well as her own tartan, she has provided information on what tartan is and how she designed her own. (Click on the images to make them bigger.)

Farin's Cranachan

Farin found and followed a recipe to make a delicious Scottish desert called Cranachan, which is made with lots of oats and cream.

Have a look below to see how she got on...

Cranachan By Farin

For my project I decided to make a traditional Scottish dessert. I thought making it would be fun and delicious.

Cranachan is a traditional Scottish dessert. It was originally a celebration of harvest, made after the raspberry harvest in June. The dessert of cream and fresh seasonal raspberries is made even better with the addition of Scottish oats and whisky (which I didn't use!)

How did I make it?

Ingredients:

2 tbsp medium oatmeal

300g fresh raspberries

A little caster sugar

350ml double cream

2 tbsp honey

With my sister’s help we spread out the oatmeal on a baking sheet and grilled it until it smelled rich and nutty.
Then I crushed and sieved the raspberries and sweetened the puree with a little caster sugar to make it taste a bit less sour.
I whisked the double cream until it was just set and stirred in the honey.
We mixed the oatmeal with the cream and layered it in four glasses with the raspberry puree.
We put the glasses in the fridge to chill slightly and served them about 30 minutes later…
