25 g sunflower seeds 
2 pinches of salt 
190 g Dansukker Light Muscovado Sugar

Toast the sunflower seeds in a dry frying pan. Add the salt and put to one side.

Combine the muscovado sugar, syrup and whipping cream in a thick-bottomed saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the thermometer reads 124°C or the mixture passes the cold water test.
