Golden syrup
Golden Syrup
Golden syrup (pronunciation: /ˈɡoʊldən ˈsɪrəp/) is a thick, amber-coloured form of invert sugar syrup.
Etymology
The term "golden syrup" in the sense of a type of sweet syrup, appears to have arisen in the 19th century. The word "golden" refers to the color of the syrup and "syrup" is derived from the Arabic word "sharab" which means "drink" or "beverage".
Production
Golden syrup is a by-product of the sugar refining process. The process involves boiling down a sugar solution until it becomes a syrup. The syrup is then refined to remove impurities, resulting in a product that is golden in color and sweet in taste.
Uses
Golden syrup is used in a variety of baking and cooking applications. It is often used as a substitute for honey or maple syrup, and is a key ingredient in recipes such as treacle tart and flapjacks. It can also be used as a sweetener for porridge, pancakes, and waffles.
