Preheat oven to 150°C bake.
Line a 25cm round tart tin with pastry. Use a fork to gently prick a few holes in the pastry base. Line with baking paper and fill with pie weights. Bake for 30 minutes.
Place golden syrup and cream together in a large saucepan on medium heat. Bring to a simmer then remove from heat.
Crack eggs into a medium bowl. Whisk in orange zest and juice, ginger, mixed spice and salt. Fold egg mixture through the cream and syrup.
