<\/a>How to Make Golden Syrup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Making golden syrup is actually incredibly simple. It only takes about 5 minutes to put the syrup mix together. The syrup then simmers on its own for about an hour, growing thick and rich while it cooks. Here is a quick look at how to make golden syrup using our easy golden syrup recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Mix the sugars and water in a small pot and bring to a boil over high heat.<\/li>
  2. Stir in the lemon juice then let the mix simmer for about an hour. Do not stir the syrup or the sugar may crystallize and become gritty.<\/li>
  3. Once the golden syrup is done cooking, it will be a thick consistency and have a deep amber color. You can also use a candy thermometer to make sure it has reached 240 degrees F. At that temperature, your syrup is completely cooked!<\/li>
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract then pour the hot syrup into a container to cool. We like to use a glass mason jar to keep the syrup in.<\/li>
  5. Store the golden syrup at room temperature. It will keep in your pantry for up to three months.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Boiling the sugar over low heat prevents the sugar from crystallizing and makes a smooth, easy to work with syrup. It does take a little bit of time to simmer the syrup to perfection but anyone can make this golden syrup recipe. You essentially just need to measure, stir and boil!
