Dissolve the brown sugar, cream and bicarbonate of soda in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it comes to the boil.

Remove the pan from the heat and add the butter, nuts, orange rind and salt. Beat until the mixture becomes thick. Turn out into a buttered 20cm square tin and, when cold, cut into pieces.
