Scottish Recipe of the Month - 16th May 2013

Quick Cranachan Pudding
If you're really pushed for time then this recipe from Orkney saves a lot of the toasting and is simple.  You do need to think ahead though, for overnight soaking of the oats.  

You will need

• 2 tablespoons medium oatmeal
• 2 tablespoons runny honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh orange or apple juice
• 300 ml double or whipping cream, or thick yoghurt
• 110 g raspberries, or mixed fruit, eg banana, stewed apple, plus a few raspberries

The day before;  soak the oatmeal in the honey and fruit juice in a covered dish.

Whip the cream until stiff and fold in your chosen  fruit to the oats.  Chill in the fridge for a short while, or serve semi-frozen
