Step 2 Melt sugar in a heavy based non-stick frying pan over medium heat for 10–15 minutes until deep golden. Remove from heat and stir in whiskey (take care as it will splatter and become firm).

Good for you ... Navel Oranges

Provides a variety of carotenoids, including some beta carotene which is converted to vitamin A in the body.

A source of folate, a B vitamin that contributes to the normal functioning of the body’s immune system.

Low GI (40-51) meaning that the sugars in oranges are broken down slowly and absorbed into the bloodstream.
