Golden Syrup

Ingredients

  • 4 c sugar
  • 1 c water
  • 1 T lemon juice

Method

  1. Gently mix sugar and water in a saucepan
  2. Bring to a simmer
  3. Gently stir in lemon juice
  4. Simmer for ~40 minutes or until golden in color and somewhat thickened. DO NOT STIR.
  5. Cool and place in a sealed jar.

Notes

If the syrup gets too hard, reheat it with a bit of water to soften it and make it flow.

The reason you don’t stir is because you don’t want sugar crytals to form on the side of the pan; this can cause a chain reaction where the entire batch of syrup crystallizes.
