golden syrup
Particularly popular in England (where it's also known as light
treacle), this liquid sweetener has the consistency of
CORN SYRUP and a clear golden color. It's made from evaporated sugar cane juice and has a rich, toasty flavor unmatched by any other sweetener. Golden syrup, the most readily available brand being Lyle's, can be found in some supermarkets and many gourmet markets. It can be used as a substitute for
CORN SYRUP in cooking and baking, and for everything from pancake syrup to ice cream topping.
