An evoker of fond childhood memories in most British ex-pats, this syrup is similar in consistency to corn syrup and has a clear, golden color. It's made from evaporated sugar cane juice and has a rich, toasty flavor unmatched by any other sweetener. Our golden syrup comes to us from the UK sugar giant Tate & Lyle in their signature green tins, marked by their powerful mascot, the lion. Spread some on a slice of warm bread or pour it over your pancakes or ice cream. It can be used in any way you would use corn syrup and will add an extra-special flavor to your recipes. Used in and on puddings by the Brits, Lyle's Golden Syrups performs very nicely in cooking and baking.
Hard to find, worth the search.

Comments about Lyle's Golden Syrup:
Definitely worth the hassle and price to finally find and purchase Lyle's Golden Syrup. I live in Kansas and its pretty hard to find things like this. I was making treacle tart for the first time and I'm so glad I found the Lyle's and didn't have to resort to corn syrup. It would not have been the same at all. It has a deep rich flavor that corn syrup can't match.

Comments about Lyle's Golden Syrup:
I used the Golden Syrup in a Tuxedo cake I made for the first time. The syrup was used in the choc glaze. It was the best cake I ever made according to my friends. It was for a 50th birthday and I'm glad it turned out so well.
