                                            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…
