| method: |
| It is possible to just pour Drambuie
liqueur over ice cream or sorbet
and obtain a lovely dessert but
here is a recipe for making home
made ice cream flavoured with
Bonnie Prince Charlie's personal
liqueur.
Bring the water and sugar to the boil in a small saucepan and then set aside.
Whisk the egg yolks over a bain
marie. Once they are light in
colour, add the water and sugar
mixture and whisk until it forms
a ribbon. Then remove from the
heat and continue to whisk until
it is cool. Add the Drambuie
and the lightly whipped cream.
Freeze overnight.
Serve with soft fruit or apple
pie.

| Drambuie
is supposedly made to a recipe which
the fleeing Bonnie Prince Charlie gave
to the Mackinnons of Strathaird as thanks
for looking after him. It was made in
small quantities by the Mackinnons until
the start of this century when an astute
member of the clan started making it
in larger quantities for sale. The name
comes from the Gaelic "an dram
buidbeach" or "the drink that
satisfies." |
