Gavin and Stacey, Morecambe and Wise, salt and caramel - some things are just meant to be together.

Easily adds flavour to:

• Vanilla ice cream
• Squidgy toasted crumpets
• Sticky apple cake
• Rich hot chocolate

The more adventurous among us should try:

• Coring a few apples and filling with salted caramel sauce. Add a splash of whisky to the dish before covering with foil and baking in the oven until the sauce is molten and the apples are soft
• Spreading a thin layer over the base of a sweet shortcrust pastry case before filling with chocolate ganache and setting in the fridge. Finish with flaked salt before slicing into thin wedges
• Mixing with Greek yoghurt before freezing into iced lolly moulds
• Tossing chopped parsnips with salted caramel sauce and orange for a sticky and indulgent winter side dish
