Bruleed Raspberries with Whisky

Ingredients:
1lb raspberries
1/2 pt double cream
1 tablespoon whisky
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
3oz soft light brown sugar
Caster sugar to taste

Method:
Spread the raspberries over the base of a shallow flame proof dish. Sprinkle the whisky over the rasps and add a little (caster) sugar to taste (scottish raspberries can be a little "tart"). Whip the double cream until thick and fold in the orange rind.

Spread this evenly over the raspberries and chill in the refrigerator.

When the pudding/ sweet is actually required, preheat a hot grill. Cover the cream with approx 1/2 inch thickness of brown sugar, spreading evenly. Place this under the hot grill and cook until the sugar melts and bubbles. The pudding can then be served hot (be aware it will be VERY hot on outside, but coolER beneath) or left to cool with the sugar hardening on the top.
