This is a variation of the traditional Scottish dessert, often served
at Harvest festivals. The secret of the dish is not to sweeten the cream but to allow the toasted Oatmeal to develop a nutty flavour, making a beautiful contrast with the jam. Serves 4 Ingredients: 1/2 pint double cream 8 oz blackcurrant jam 1/2 cup medium oatmeal Dash Creme de Cassis (opt) Melt the jam mixed with creme de Cassis over a medium heat, adding extra whole berries if you like. Toast the oatmeal under a slow grill making sure the oatmeal doesnt brown - just let the flavour mature. Add half the toasted oatmeal to the cream and whip to a full consistency. Pour the jam into wineglasses and fill with the cream mixture. Sprinkle the rest of the oatmeal on top. The jam should still be warm when the dish is served, contrasting with the cream. |

Living in a village in the Borders of Scotland can
be a quiet experience. After getting Internet access I looked up my interests,
writing and animals. One day by chance after writing some erotica, I was
invited to join ER
and life suddenly took on a different meaning for my partner my many rescued
animals and myself. (I can assure you that writing erotica with the fastest
ferret in the world disappearing down the front of your jumper is not
easy!) I love writing about everything that I see around me and I have
every intention of growing old disgracefully. Visit my hiding place at
Selkie's Cave.
