TOFFEE SAUCE

Makes about 750ml

175g demerara sugar

170g butter, cubed

1 tablespoon golden syrup

1 tablespoon black treacle

500ml double cream

pinch of salt

Put the sugar, butter, golden syrup and treacle in a saucepan over a high heat and bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Continue boiling until the sauce becomes a golden caramel colour. Pour in the cream to stop the cooking. Add the salt, then pass the sauce through a fine sieve into a bowl and serve warm.

Leave any leftover sauce to cool completely, then keep in a covered container in the fridge for a couple weeks. Reheat gently to serve.
