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!

This sounds good, but I’ve never heard of “golden syrup”.
Does it have anything to do with maple syrup or simple sugar syrup?
