Method: How to make Caramelised oranges with honeycomb
For the honeycomb toffee:
Heat the sugar and honey until it gets to the hard-crack stage (149C). Check this using a sugar thermometer, being careful not to touch the bottom of the pan with the thermometer as that will be hotter than the sugar itself.
Remove from the heat and add the bicarbonate of soda. Stir the mixture until it starts to froth. Pour onto a greased baking tray and leave to cool.
For the oranges:
Melt butter in a frying pan and stir in the honey.
Place the segments into the pan, and cook until they are nicely caramelised. Stir in the whiskey.
To serve:
Crush the honeycomb toffee into small pieces and stir into the clotted cream with a splash of whiskey. Serve with the caramelised oranges and further crushed honeycomb.
