Homemade golden syrup recipe - simple and delicious!
Ingredients:
  • 645g (3 cups) caster sugar
  • 1/4 lemon, seeds removed
  • 310ml (1 1/4 cups) boiling water
Instructions:
  • In a medium saucepan, combine 110g (1/2 cup) of sugar and 125ml (1/2 cup) of water. Stir and cook over low heat for 3 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to medium and simmer without stirring for 8-9 minutes until the mixture turns golden.
  • 1. Remove the pan from heat and place it on a heatproof surface. 2. Slowly add the boiling water (be cautious as the mixture may splatter). 3. Return the pan to low heat, then mix in the lemon quarter and remaining sugar. Stir to dissolve any lumps on the base, no need to dissolve all the sugar completely.
  • Simmer the toffee mixture until golden over low heat for 25 minutes, then allow it to cool slightly for 5 minutes. Use tongs to remove and discard the lemon.
  • 1. Fill a heatproof jar with boiling water, then discard. 2. Pour the syrup into the warm jar. 3. Allow to cool completely before sealing tightly with a lid. The mixture will thicken as it cools.
