Set the oven at Gas Mark 4, 350 degrees F, 180 degrees C.

To make the base first cream the butter/margarine  with the sugar until fluffy, then stir in the flour and nuts.

Knead gently until smooth, then press evenly into the base of the tin and prick well with a fork.

Bake for 36 minutes (in motorhome time is 18,18) until crisp and and golden.  Cool in the tin.

To make the filling, put all the ingredients into a heavy based pan and stir over a low heat until melted and smooth.  Bring to the boil, then cook for 3-5 minutes until golden and caramel coloured.  Spread over the shortbread base and leave to cool.
