Spiced caramel layer

The spices in this caramel bridge the divide between sweet and savoury, and turn this component into a magnificent addition to a savoury dish that would be enhanced by a little added sweetness. This spiced caramel layer can be served with smoked eel and goose liver. The composition of this caramel makes it more sturdy and it does not absorb liquid as quickly as normal sugar. This is easy to prepare mise en place.
