Recipe/AthollBrose

Atholl Brose is an old Scots Recipe, and very nice it is too :) I find using an Islay whisky (one of the gentler ones) is better than using a sweet whisky, or a blend.

Serves 3-4 depending on how big your glasses are.

125g raspberries [one punnet from Tesco]
pinch of ground cinnamon
5ml (1tsp) lemon juice
25g caster sugar
300ml/ 1/2 pint double cream
45ml / 3tbsp runny honey
50ml whisky
50g coarse oatmeal, preferably toasted [If anyone knows where you can get *coarse* oatmeal, let me know... Sainsbury's in the centre of Cambridge seems to sell quite coarse stuff, next to the less-coarse porridge oats]

Put raspberries, cinnamon, lemon juice, sugar and 30ml(2tbsp) water in a small pan. Heat gently for a few minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the raspberries have begun to soften. Set aside to cool.

Whip cream in a bowl with honey until it just holds its shape. Beat in whisky, and then fold in the oatmeal.

Divide the raspberries between 3 or 4 serving glasses, spoon the oatmeal mix on top, cool in fridge for 30minutes, and then serve (raspberries or biscuits to garnish if you like)

Oooh, nice-sounding *and* bed-sitterable!
It's *lovely*
