There's a Scottish welcome in January with Burns Night on 25
January celebrating the life, songs and poetry of the Scottish poet Robert
Burns, born on 25 January 1759.
Haggis is the traditional dish to serve on Burns Night, accompanied by Tatties (mashed potato with a dash of nutmeg) and Neeps (mashed swede or turnip with a touch of ginger). But what do you serve up as dessert or pudding on Burns Night? My proud Scottish friend, Fiona,who is an amazing cook has a traditionally Scottish Prune and Whisky Tarte which she makes every year for her family and friends as well as her own Haggis!
8 inch (21cm) flan tin
8oz (225g) shortcrust pastry
8oz (225g) dried prunes (those stoned ready to eat D’Agen prunes are best)
4floz (100ml) double cream
2 eggs
3oz (75g) caster sugar
2oz (50g) ground almonds
2 fl oz (50ml) malt whisky
Zest of one orange finely grated
1oz (25g) butter
This recipe sounds
quite decadent! Slainte
Mhath! Happy Burns Night! Have you got a Scottish recipe to share?
