Apple, bramble and honey oats

(Serves 4) 

Ingredients

For the stewed fruit:

  • 6 Braeburn apples
  • 100g brambles
  • 80g caster sugar
  • 50ml Tullibardine The Murray Marsala Cask
  • Pinch sea salt

For the honey oats:

  • 150g porridge oats
  • 90g butter
  • 40g honey
  • 40g muscovado sugar

For the yoghurt ice cream:

  • 170ml water
  • 150g caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp glucose syrup
  • 5g pectin
  • 250g yoghurt

Method

  1. To make the ice cream: In a saucepan, add the water, glucose and half the sugar. Bring this gentle to a boil and stir to dissolve the sugar.
  2. In a bowl, mix the remaining sugar and the pectin together. Now whisk this into the boiling syrup and mix for approximately one minute.
  3. Remove from the heat and allow to chill fully. Whisk in the yoghurt and then churn in an ice cream machine. Store in the freezer.
  4. To make the oats: Preheat the oven at 180C. Gently melt the butter in a saucepan and then add the honey and the sugar. Cook on a medium heat while stirring for about three minutes.
  5. Remove from the heat and then add oats. Stir this well while still hot to make sure the oats get fully coats in the mixture.
  6. Once in has cooled slightly, roll the mixture into small balls (slightly smaller than a ping pong ball) and space them on a baking mat. Cook for eight minutes until the have flattened out and are golden brown. Remove and allow to cool. Stew the fruit: Peel and chop the apple into cubes about 1cm by 1cm.
  7. Add the sugar to a heavy-bottomed pan and heat gradually until it reaches a light caramel. Carefully add the apple and half the brambles.
  8. Continue to cook on a medium heat until very soft and the mixture isn’t too wet. Now remove from the heat and add the remaining brambles, whisky and salt. Let the residual heat soften the add brambles.
  9. To serve: Add a large spoon of the stewed fruits to a bowl and place a disc of the oats on top.
  10. Optional – lightly blowtorch the oats so it shapes itself over the fruit. Add a scoop of ice cream to the side and garnish with fresh brambles and apple.
