Golden Syrup

Family: Poaceae

Golden syrup (or light treacle) is a form of inverted sugar syrup. It is made by the process of refining sugar cane or sugar beet juice into sugar, or by treatment of a sugar solution with acid. The consistency is similar to honey, and can be used as a substitute for honey.
