Blackberry Cranachan (Vegan)

So to go along with the Outlander season 6 rewatch I thought it would be fun to make a recipe from the Outlander Kitchen cookbooks by Theresa Carle-Sanders for each episode. I am going to choose recipes that 1. I haven't made before, 2. the ingredients are not too obscure or expensive, and 3. it can be made ahead or isn't very time-consuming. (Can you tell I have had a busy month? 🙂) Anyway, for S6E1 on Friday I am making Cranachan with Brian and Jenny from Outlander Kitchen: To the New World and Back Again page 249 if you want to cook along. I will give longer notice going forward. ; )

Please tag #ol6rewatch2023 and share if you make this or another recipe!

Dreaming of the cranachan I had while in Scotland.

Celebrating because I just got a raise! 😮 which is even more awesome because I was sure I was about to get yelled at for fucking something up (which is how I generally feel all the time tbh but still)

They told me a percentage which if I've worked it out right will mean an extra £80 a month! Hopefully I'm not too far out with my sums 🤞

(unless I've underestimated in which case I hope I'm super wrong 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞)

And yeah £80 a month isn't much in the grand scheme of things and I'm certain it'll be gobbled up by the cost of living crisis quickly, but it's still more money than I've been getting and that's a very good thing!!!

So I'm celebrating by taking the open tub of cream I've got hanging out in the fridge and the handful of raspberries my mum grew and gave me a few days ago and turning them into cranachan + an extra wee dram of whisky hiding at the back 🙄

What is the name of the Scottish dessert that comprises oats, raspberries, cream and whisky?

Cranachan is a traditional Scottish dessert that originally celebrated the raspberry harvest in the summer months. The main ingredients are raspberries, oats, cream, whisky and either honey or sugar. Sometimes, the cream is substituted for crowdie, a soft type of cheese. It has been called 'the uncontested king of Scottish desserts' and can be made all year round with raspberries from abroad when they are not in season in Scotland.

There are many variations on cranachan and the whisky and fruit were once optional ingredients. Modern versions may use different fruit, such as oranges or whisky-soaked raisins. The whisky may be swapped for spiced rum and the dessert topped with whipped cream and shortbread. There is also a chocolate variety that is topped with toasted hazelnuts rather than fruit. Whatever the ingredients, cranachan is usually served in a tall dessert glass.

Cranachan: Scottish Dessert

✿ クラナカン | Cranachan ・スコットランドの伝統的なデザートである。スコットランド以外では「クラナカン」と呼ばれるが、スコットランドにおいては「クラナハン」と発音することが一般的である。今日では、ホイップクリーム、ウイスキー、蜂蜜、新鮮なラズベリーを混ぜたものと、少量のウイスキーに一晩浸したオートミールから作られる。アソールブロスは似た材料から作る飲料だが、ラズベリーは用いない。初期のレシピでは、クリームの代わりにクリームチーズを用いることやウイスキーを使わないこともあった。

I generally watch LPs of horror games bc I'm too anxious to actually play them but a lot of them have FANTASTIC stories, so sometimes I just binge-watch KrinxTV for background noise. Been watching a lot of playthroughs of Still Wakes The Deep because it's such a delight to hear Scottish voice actors get work and I thought I'd address some questions I keep seeing Let's Players ask:

--Adair is a member of the National Front as you can find out from posters in his cabin, a Neo-Fascist British political party that’s been going since the sixties. While it often preaches British ethnic unity, in practice that often means “everybody in the UK should be exactly like East End Londerners” and features plentiful disdain for Scottish, Irish, and Welsh folk, alongside those perceived as “not British”. No wonder the wanker eats alone in the canteen.

--Neeps and Tatties=turnips and potatoes, mashed, drenched in butter or sauce. Fills your belly, keeps you warm, probably makes you sink like a stone because it’s so heavy.

--Cranachan=a dessert made of raspberries, honey, cream and oats, absolutely delicious

--Rennick calls Caz a “wee ned prick”. Ned is apocryphally said to stand for “non-educated delinquent” and is basically just a way of calling someone an uneducated, lower-class criminal

--A lot of things said by and about Roy indicate that he’s a teetotaller who went through AA and specifically became Catholic and is making an effort at converting Caz.

--I think it’s entertaining how Scottish nicknames often follow a pattern of shortening/rejiggering that I also see a lot with Australian nicknames—Cameron becomes Caz, Rafferty becomes Raffs, etc. Trots is an unusual one but is almost certainly a reference to him being a communist, presumably a Trotskyist. Gibbo is also an unusual one in that it’s just very silly. There’s a kind of indignity implied in being killed by a guy called Gibbo.

--A few times on the radio you hear the Shipping Forecast, a type of weather report aimed at specifically reporting weather conditions out on the ocean, and is also famous for the report being read in such a calm, soothing tone that some folk use it as a sleep aid.

--All the yellow paint for interactable things is very video gamey, yes, but is also in line with old British health and safety standards, and yellow paint on things like emergency ladders or on the edges of stairs that are trip hazards is a thing ou can still see in some older buildings.

--Caz keeps saying he’s “good with the leccy”; leccy=electricity. Caz is implied to be quite a wee guy who can get through a lot of tight spaces, and my uncle swears blind that electricians used to refuse to take on apprentices over a certain size because they only wanted to train wee guys who could get up into the tight spaces that a lot of older buildings are full of. On that note, “wee man” is a term of endearment, generally, and isn’t exclusively applied to short guys.

--Finlay saying of Gibbo that “he’s no right” is INCREDIBLY OMINOUS. It sounds mild but “he’s no right, that boy” is what older folk say about a child who’s been found disembowelling cats for fun or someone they strongly suspect is a pedophile. It’s not something you’d say about a friend who’s just acting a bit unusually.

– “Great minds united over a Buckie”--Buckfast, or Buckie, is a caffienated tonic wine that’s cheap, widely accessible, and is a bit like rocket fuel for bad decisions.

– “Ya roaster” tbh I don’t really know where it comes from, calling someone a roaster, but I’ve always felt like it has a vibe of telling them they’re huffing their own farts.

--Scunnert/scunnered--buggered, screwed, utterly fucked, etc

– “You’re the jammiest bastart on this rig” Someone who is jammy is someone who has incredible luck that is implied to be related to their sheer confidence or willingness to engage in risky behaviour. Walking along the street and finding a pound coin isn’t jammy; crossing the road confident that the cars won’t hit you and stopping in the middle to pick up a pound coin before making it unscathed to the other side is jammy as all hell.

--Barlinnie is the biggest prison in Scotland, and largely hosts violent offenders—it’s where Caz would definitely go for hospitalizing a man.

--Weans are children (contraction of wee yins/wee ones). I thought this one was contextually obvious but apparently not.

SPOILERS BELOW

--”One spark and the whole thing’ll go up”—this is referring to the wee spark of flame in the lighter used to blow up the rig, but is also kind of a pun because electricians are often called sparks or sparkies, and in the end it’s Caz who blows up the rig.

Ugh. I’m randomly craving cranachan. It’s been over a decade since I’ve had it and it’ll likely be several decades more before I have it again because unless they find a cure for MCAS in my lifetime it’s going to be a “last meal” kind of situation before I get to enjoy it again.
