Here is a refreshing dessert which uses marmalade, a popular ingredient in Scottish cooking since its invention in Dundee in 1797.
| Ingredients for Cream |
- 4oz cream cheese (about half a cup)
- 4 fluid ounces double cream (about half a cup)
- 1 tablespoon marmalade (thick, bitter marmalade is suggested but use what you have)
- 2 tablespoons brandy or rum
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- Sugar to taste
| Ingredients for Base |
- 4 oranges, segmented and the pith removed
| Method |
Blend all the ingredients for the cream in a liquidiser till smooth. Place the oranges in four long-stemmed glasses and, if you want, add a teaspoon of brandy (or rum) to these. Add the cream on top. Garnish with some orange zest (boil for a few minutes in water to reduce the bitterness). Serve chilled.
