Method

In a saucepan, combine the cream and orange juice and heat until just beginning to simmer. Remove from the heat and keep warm.

In a deep saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, washing down any sugar crystals clinging to the side of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in water. Swirl the pan occasionally until the syrup turns golden brown
