Traditionally Cranachan (apparently pronounced Krana-can) is a Scottish dish that is generally made with local or seasonal ingredients. This indulgent dessert used to be eaten during the time of harvest and is now prepared for special occasions such as weddings and when celebrating Burns night held each year in late January.
This is a hybrid version of a Texan dish that purists claim should not contain beans or even tomatoes. Chile con Carne means peppers with meat.

I’ve created this recipe using kidney beans and plenty of cumin.
