Sticky Gingerbread

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

Is Golden Syrup High Fructose Corn Syrup? That’s one of those things I don’t cook with.

Has anyone reduced the sugar in this recipe? I often find that desserts are too sugary and play around with reducing the sweetness.

Hey guys, sorry I didn’t reply sooner. Golden Syrup is British, but you should be able to find it at Whole Foods or in big grocery stores with an international section. If not then you can probably substitute with corn syrup although it isn’t quite the same. Golden syrup has the same consistancy and colour as honey but tastes more like slightly burned/browned sugar.

I found golden syrup at Cost Plus World Market–been wondering what to do with it—ahhhhaaa! I’m going to try this yummy one tomorrow.

Hello – I may try to make this, as well. Sounds yummy – anything gooey has my immediate attention. I searched golden syrup & it sounds like a thick corn syrup. Evidently, you can substitute equal parts corn syrup & molasses; or, a 2 parts corn syrup to one part molasses mixture; or just plain old corn syrup, if you don’t like the taste of molasses (I love molasses so I’ll probably go 50/50). But 14 ounces of syrup? No wonder it’s sticky!
