Golden Syrup

Golden syrup is a pale treacle. It is a thick, amber-coloured form of inverted sugar syrup, made in the process of refining sugar cane or sugar beet juice into sugar, or by treatment of a sugar solution with acid. 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.

Molasses, or dark treacle, has a richer colour than golden syrup, and a stronger, slightly bitter flavour.

Famous quotes containing the word golden:

    I turned my head and saw the wind,
    Not far from where I stood,
    Dragging the corn by her golden hair,
    Into a dark and lonely wood.
    William Henry Davies (1871–1940)
