About Syrup, golden

Golden syrup is a thick invert-sugar syrup traditionally made during sugar refining. It is used as a sweetener and flavouring in baking, desserts, sauces, and drinks, and can also be served as a topping.

It is glossy and pourable, usually golden amber, with a smooth texture and a sweet, buttery caramel-like flavour. Products may vary in colour, thickness, and processing, but golden syrup is a distinct syrup style, not simply another name for maple syrup or honey.
