Vickys Homemade Golden Syrup (like Tate & Lyles) GF DF EF SF NF
I've realised that Tate & Lyles Golden Syrup is hard to find in some places other than here in the UK so this is a homemade golden syrup. The aroma is slightly different but obviously that's their wee secret lol. So now you have no excuse to substitute honey or molasses in your toffee!! Use in syrup cookies and syrup sponge cakes also
Ingredients
-
200 grams white sugar (1 cup)
-
50 ml water (3 tbsp + 1 tsp)
-
1000 grams white sugar (5 cups)
-
600 ml boiling water (2.5 cups)
-
2 thick slices of lemon
Cooking Instructions
-
1
Pour the 1st lot of sugar and water into a large pan. Let the sugar caramelise on a medium heat until it's a gorgeous dark golden colour
-
2
Add the 2nd lot of sugar, the boiling water and the lemon and boil on low for 40-45 minutes until thick, don't stir

At this stage don't be tempted to boil longer, the syrup will always look thin when hot but once it cools it will thicken. After cooling if you do think it's not thick enough, just put it back in the pan and boil again for another 5-10 minutes

If you overdo it and it does come out too thick, make up another half recipe and add it to the hard syrup, boil together for half an hour and continue the jarring process

Pour into steralised jars and seal. Syrup will keep for a year in a cool dark place. The longer it sits the tastier it will become. Remember to label the jars, you should get 3 x 300g
