Method

step 1

Toast the spices in a dry pan until fragrant, then pour in the cream. Heat on high until the first simmering bubbles appear, then turn off. Pour into a blender and whizz to break up the spices, then pour through a sieve.
step 2

Put the remaining ingredients into a pan with the infused cream over a medium heat. Cook, stirring regularly, until the mix reaches 120C on a sugar thermometer. Pour onto a baking-paper-lined 20cm x 20cm tray and leave to cool for 4 hours or until set, then cut into squares or circles.
