    • 65g (2¼oz) castor sugar

    • 284mls (½ pint) double cream, heated

    • Pinch of salt

    • Pinch of chilli powder

    • Finely grated zest of 1 large orange

    • 3tbsp vanilla extract

    • 120g (4oz) semi dried cranberries

    2) Melt the chocolate and unsalted butter together, over a pan of simmering water.
