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. |

Madagascar Vanilla Beans set the standard of excellence for vanilla flavor in the world. The long, narrow seedpods that become vanilla beans are carefully cut from the vine while green and cured by sweating under blankets. This process gives them both their dark, black color and their sweet, aromatic flavor.
Dan Sukker of Sweden has combined the natural sweetness of pure cane sugar with the creamy flavor of a Madagascar vanilla bean. Its rich, pure flavor will make your desserts truly memorable. |

Three generations take care of the Brown family farm. Specializing in the highest quality Vermont maple syrup, their farm is located in Putney along the banks of the Connecticut River. They produce their Grade A medium syrup the old-fashioned way. The art of “sugaring” was first learnt by the American colonists from the American Indians. The sap is coaxed from the maple tree and is boiled down into the purest sweetener nature has to offer, known to the Indians as “sweet water.” From mid -February, they have 4-6 weeks of tapping season. The process is very labor intensive, hence the reason why pure maple syrup is so expensive. The Brown's mellow flavored amber syrup ensures any breakfast will be extra special. Putney has a lively rural community mingled with a community of artists. The Browns have utilized the talents of popular folk artist Warren Kimble to design their packaging. This syrup is a perfect representation of the marriage of two local arts their community is justly proud of. |

Treacle is a byproduct of sugar refining, similar to molasses, and is widely used in cooking and baking in the United Kingdom. Black treacle has a slightly burnt flavor that is somewhat stronger than that of molasses. It lends a powerful, rich flavor to toffee, breads, cakes, and sauces. The manufacturer, Tate & Lyle, was founded by the merger of two nineteenth-century sugar refineries in 1921 and is the UK's largest cane sugar refining company. The company also operates the world's largest sugar refinery and produces Domino Sugar in the United States. Lyle's Black Treacle comes in a charming red tin that is emblazoned with the company's bold mascot, the lion. Try it spread on warm bread or drizzled over puddings. It makes a deliciously different substitute for molasses in any recipe. |

Pomegranate molasses plays an important role in Iranian and Middle Eastern cuisine. This particular type of molasses has a wonderful flavor and a heady aroma, and its thickness and dark color make food look very appealing. As an ingredient, it has much the same attractive, sweet-sour quality as balsamic vinegar combined with the lush fruit aroma of pomegranates. Able to be kept almost indefinitely in the refrigerator, the uses for this thick, tangy, piquant syrup are many. It blends well with walnuts, adds a tart and pungent flavor to beans, sharpens the taste of poultry, gives a clean, tart taste to fish, an astringent edge to salads and vegetables, and is a great tenderizer for lamb and pork. It can also be diluted and used for sharp drinks and tart sorbets. |
