Ask a question about this stepSo glad you like the recipe! Do experiment with the amount of cardamom- the original recipe included 11 cardamom pods and i loved it but some people aren't so keen on such a strong taste, so i popped it down to 7 which i found gave a nice subtle blend with the chocolate and cranberries :) Do let me know how you get on! x
Wonderful recipe, and absolutely delightful head note! I like how you offset all that sweetness with the tart cranberries. And the addition of cardamom is such a good idea. These are definitely on the must-try list. I suspect my two sons at college will be the happy beneficiaries of my efforts, as these seem perfect to include in the next "care-package" destined their way. ;o)
