Golden syrup

Golden syrup is a thick, amber-colored form of inverted sugar syrup, made in the process of refining sugar cane juice into sugar, or by treatment of a sugar solution with acid. It is made from sugar cane juice, which is evaporated to produce the flavor and texture of the syrup. Some call golden syrup nutty in flavor, and many praise its light yellow color. Often people feel it is sweeter than sugar. Using it as a sugar substitute should mean using a lesser amount. It is used in a variety of baking recipes and desserts. It has an appearance similar to honey, and is often used as a substitute for people who do not eat honey. It can also be used as a substitute for corn syrup. Golden syrup is a popular sweetener in the UK, resembling corn syrup in its pouring ability. It is sometimes called light treacle and is an essential ingredient in the popular dessert, treacle tart. Golden syrup may also be used as a topping for hot cereal or for pancakes..
