Cranachan (Scottish soft fruit brose) image

This recipe combines traditional Scottish produce to good effect, creating a mouthwatering desert that is a delightful treat whenever fresh soft fruit is in season. Although this elegant desert is popular across Scotland, it is consumed in enormous quantities in the Loch Ness area and in the Northeast of Scotland where huge, fat, juicy raspberries abound in late summer.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but it didn't turn out well. The cranachan was too runny and the oats were too chewy. I think I'll stick to my usual cranachan recipe.

This cranachan recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

This was my first time making cranachan, and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use more raspberries. Other than that, it was perfect.
