In this culinary guide, Daniella takes us through the process of creating golden syrup, a beloved classic British pantry staple. With just three ingredients and minimal hands-on time, you can have a jar of this versatile sweetener ready for all your baking adventures. Here's a breakdown of the steps involved

Ingredients and Preparation To make golden syrup, you will need 400 grams (approximately 2 cups) of granulated sugar and 150 milliliters (5/8 cup) of water. Start by gently pouring water around the edge of the sugar in a pot to prevent crystallization.
Melting the Sugar Heat the mixture over medium-high heat and stir gently to ensure the sugar melts completely. Be cautious not to allow the sugar and water to creep up the sides of the pan.
Adding Lemon Once the mixture becomes clear and boils, introduce a slice of lemon (or a tablespoon of lemon juice or a quarter teaspoon of citric acid) to prevent crystallization.
Cooking Process Reduce the heat and avoid stirring. The syrup needs to simmer for approximately 40 to 60 minutes until it reaches a temperature of 240 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (115 to 120 degrees Celsius). This low and slow cooking process allows the water to evaporate and results in the desired sticky golden syrup consistency.
Sterilizing a Jar While the syrup is cooking, you can prepare your storage jar. Wash it thoroughly in hot soapy water, rinse to remove all soap residue, and sterilize in an oven preheated to 140 degrees Celsius (275 degrees Fahrenheit) for 10 to 15 minutes.
Cooling and Storage Once your golden syrup is ready, remove it from the heat and remove the lemon. Pour the syrup into the sterilized, hot jar without the lid. Allow the syrup to cool, and it will naturally thicken as it does. This recipe yields about a cup and a half (approximately 500 grams) of golden syrup, which can be stored in your pantry for months.

Golden syrup can be used as a substitute for corn syrup in most recipes, offering a lighter and more buttery caramel flavor. However, keep in mind that corn syrup cannot replace golden syrup in recipes. The unique flavor of golden syrup enhances the taste of various dishes, making it a valuable addition to your pantry.
