Lyle's Golden Syrup 454g

Reminds me of my home in England, Scott’s and Trent.

Besides being sweet, does sugar -- from sugar cane -- have a flavor? It does! And when the sugar boils down into syrup, the flavor comes out. So, okay -- it IS sugar. Politically incorrect. Empty calories.... I know, I know. But whether you take your sugar "naturally" in fruit or honey or "unnaturally" in hiprocessed candies and sugar-coated cereals, the chemical is the same....And the thing is not to get too much. And if I'm going to have a certain amount ANYway, there are days when this is how I want to eat it. Ly'les Golden Syrup is a nice flavor alternative to honey, or maple syrup. The texture is thick like honey, but the flavor is light. It has much more "depth" and thickness than corn syrup. If you like crisp, Belgian waffles, this is great on them --with or without pats of melted butter. My grandma used to use this more than 50 years ago and I started loving it as a kid. She put it in frostings and who knows what else. But I just like it as it is... dip your fingers in and lick them off. Ummmmmmmm.... So why can't you get this stuff in your local supermarket? I can't find it anywhere.... It's because most people don't know about it. And don't know to ask for it, or how or where to get it. I've never seen an ad for this, and it isn't manufactured by one of the megafoodgiant monopolies in the U.S. , but it is worth having. I just wish I didn't have to order it in sufficient quantities to justify the shipping charge. Kind of silly to pay $7 to have a $4 item shipped. So then you buy several... but who has room to store several? And it takes a long time to go through one can of it. LIke, a year. So, if I get three cans, I have enough for three years. Still, it's worth the shipping to get two cans...I want some right now. Too bad I have to wait.

My first time using this ingredient. The syrup is very thick and a needed ingredient for AnZac cookies.

The container is classic-looking. Consistency is between honey and maple syrup. Tastes like a mild butterscotch flavor. Very yummy on vanilla ice cream. Highly recommend.

The best golden syrup. Its so thick and easy to use in almost any dessert. This has been my go to golden syrup for years, great value for money through amazon.

The can leaked during shipping, though it had a whoosh sound when I opened the top and it looks and tastes okay. It’s sugar, so it I believe it is safe to use, but I won’t buy a tin online again. The caramel taste is delicate and delicious. When you know, you know.

I wished I had looked at the reviews before purchasing. Same issue with leaking can, around the top rim. The seal was intact, the lid securely on, but was sticky under the seal. Not going use it.

A unique flavor reminiscent of molasses, but not different in a good way. Honestly, I only use this for Anzac Biscuits, but it's a must for them to come out right.

I can now make all the cakes I need to make :)

Lecker Sirup, den es schon über ein halbes Jahrhundert gibt. Bisschen zu teuer, aber leider in deutschen Discountern schlecht zu bekommen.

Cela faisait des années que je recherchais ce sirop que j'aimais tant.

Reliably delicious and great for cooking.

Nel 1863, il proprietario di una cooperativa di nome Abram Lyle entrò in possesso della Glebe Sugar Refinery di Greenock in cambio di un debito. Lyle inventò uno sciroppo e sottoprodotto della raffinazione della zucchero che veniva venduto come a cibo per suini a buon mercato. In seguito, l'imprenditore decise di modificare la ricetta dell'alimento in modo da adattarla al consumo umano e, grazie ad essa, riuscì a espandere la sua compagnia a Londra.Nel 1883, Charles Eastick, un chimico inglese della raffineria Abram Lyle & Sons di Plaistow (Londra), perfezionò ulteriormente il metodo di raffinazione dello zucchero per la preparazione di confetture e dolcificanti. Grazie ai loro esperimenti, John e suo fratello Charles Eastick riuscirono a trasformare la melassa, che era sempre stata fino a quel momento un sottoprodotto residuo della raffinazione dello zucchero, in uno sciroppo appetibile che aveva la consistenza, il colore e la dolcezza del miele.Il prodotto risultante fu commercializzato per la prima volta nel 1885 e fu nominato "golden syrup".
