About me: I love cooking, I love eating, I love discovering new recipes. I have so many cookbooks I sometimes lose track of which recipe is where - though this site helps a bit. I have gone low-carb in 2010, so that's different recipes to explore again. This also means I may not agree with my own reviews anymore if they were written in 2009 or before. ------------------ I have a lovely husband and ten-year old twins who also love eating. ----------------- You can also find me on LibraryThing, BookMooch and EatYourBooks, using the same handle.

This was meant as a mix-in for ice dream, but you can easily serve it with coffee or drinks. Just lovely.

It is not difficult at all, as long as you have the patience to go through all the stages described.

Do fill the pan you used with water right after making this recipe, I'm not sure it's possible to get the hard caramel off the pan otherwise.

Spicy and sweet, easy to make.

I will experiment a bit more with the spice mix, perhaps more black pepper and less cayenne.
