There are many substututions for golden syrup but none will taste quite the
same.
Many mail order companys sell golden syrup; Lyle's being the most popular
brand. King Arthur Flour sells Lyle's: 1 1/4lb tin - $4.50
KAF also sells their own brand of golden syrup.
New product: "King Syrup": 2 1/4 lb bottle - $2.75
I've not tried it.
To learn about Lyle's go here: http://www.tate-lyle.co.uk/homeie_4.htm
golden syrup
Particularly popular in England (where it's also known as light TREACLE), this
liquid sweetener has the consistency of CORN SYRUP and a clear golden color.
It's made from evaporated sugar cane juice and has a rich, toasty flavor
unmatched by any other sweetener. Golden syrup, the most readily available
brand being Lyle's , can be found in some supermarkets and many gourmet
markets. It can be used as a substitute for corn syrup in cooking and baking,
and for everything from pancake syrup to ice cream topping. © Copyright

Hi Ayeesha, they sell Lyle's Golden Syrup at HomeTown Favorites under
"staples"--here's the direct website address for them, cut and paste to
transfer the address--it's loooong. They sell a .68 lb can for $4.09. Lyle's is
a syrup, like corn syrup except it has a honey flavor (sort of). I use it to
make HoneyComb Candy (aka sponge candy, hokey-pokey). It's the only syrup I've
found that replicates my favorite candy.

It's cane sugar syrup. Take some white sugar and melt it
with a little water and let it caramelise slightly to a
light golden colour. The taste is quite different from corn
syrup.
It's probably expensive to order in the US, although very
cheap in the UK.

It is a light colored syrup made from sugar cane; kind of like a very
light molasses. I dunno where you live, but in the Southern United
States, you can probably substitute sorghum syrup (not "ribbon cane"
syrup, which tastes much stronger). I have used sorghum syrup in a Kiwi
recipe for ANZ Biscuits and they turned out really good.
In the Northern United States, I've heard they have sugar beet syrup,
which ought to be an even better subst for golden syrup. I have never
seen it available nor (obviously) tried it.
Best regards,
Bob

Now that you all mention it I remember it faintly from my childhood
experience with my grandmother in England (I am not sure, though if she
called it Lyle's syrup). I found Dean Deluca sell it for $5.00/11 oz,
yikes! It's amazing that something so common in other country can be a
delicacy in U.S.

Nothing to do with delicacy, has mostly to do with importation. King Artur
Flour sells a brand of golden syrup that's been made in the US for 130 years at
about half the price of Lyle's.
http://www.kingarthurflour.com/cgibin/htmlos/04295.5.5868000814?
England has its Lyle’s Golden Syrup. Australia has its CSR Golden Syrup
(which we’ve been trying to import for YEARS). And here in America, we have
our own golden syrup, King Golden Syrup, produced by the Torbitt & Castleman
company of Buckner, Kentucky for over 130 years. This golden,
dark-caramel-flavored mixture of corn syrup and refiner’s syrup (also called
“cane syrup”) is a staple in many Southern kitchens, where it’s used in
the same way maple syrup is up North. With its hint of molasses, it can be used
in place of that sweetener, or simply as an all-purpose table syrup. We also
offer Torbitt & Castleman’s King White Syrup, a crystal-clear corn/sugar
syrup with just the faintest hint of vanilla; use it in place of light corn
syrup. Both come in 16-ounce bottles.

King Golden Syrup - 16-oz. $2.75 2.25 lbs.

A wussy relative of real golden syrup, which is a by-product of sugar refining.

Try half light and half dark corn syrup. It won't be quite the same but
I've been told it's acceptable.

CSR Golden Syrup - yeah!!! yummy stuff, and a staple in my pantry. Fresh
warm damper or homemade bread with butter and golden syrup is heavenly. It
would be interesting to compare the King Golden Syrup with CSR. The King
syrup is obviously a different product to what we call Golden Syrup which
does not contain any corn syrup, but is purely a byproduct of sugar
refining. I wonder how the tastes compare. Has anyone out there ever tasted
both? Do you think the corn syrup would make much of a difference to the
taste?

added come close?
I don't think Golden Syrup is exactly a delicacy here, Ayeesha. Just not
something in demand in the US. It probably costs as much to buy, um, graham
crackers in the UK.

I lived in FL and it was never a problem finding Lyle's Golden Syrup. The
regular grocery stores carried it as well as the local German delicatessen
and the British import shop. If you have a shop that sells imported foods,
you should be able to find it there.

Ah well...peanut butter in Europe (except for Holland I
suppose) is much more expensive than in the US and I've
never seen grape jelly.
Whatever you use should only be made from cane
sugar....anything with corn syrup won't taste the same.

Probably...Oreos in the UK were very expensive, but now the
French-made version has brought the price down. Have never
seen true graham crackers in the UK, but they probably can
be had at some specialist places...also not a delicacy and
also not in great demand.

...That's an interresting twist....a French version of Oreos.
Somehow I've missed them in my weekly pilgrimage to the foreign
foods section.
What are they called? Who makes them?
Thanks!

Sainsbury's et al sell them in the biscuit aisle along with
all the other biscuits. They are Oreos made under
licence...the packaging is the same blue etc. Only the small
print reveals the origins.
Can't imagine they are sold in the US.

Ayeesha-Try calling the Simon David on Inwood and Mockingbird, just
outside Highland Park. If anyone in the Dallas area would have it (at a
reasonable price), they would. Williams Sonoma may also carry it, or the
gourmet shops at Neiman Marcus and Macy's.

Never had light corn syrup but it would be worth a crack.
