What is the difference between white and dark Karo syrup?

Light corn syrup has a mild, sweet flavor and is absolutely colorless. Dark corn syrup gets its brown color from the inclusion of molasses, which also adds a richer flavor. Light and dark corn syrup can be used interchangeably in almost every instance, with slight flavor variances.

Can you use maple syrup instead of honey?

To substitute maple syrup for honey in a recipe, use 3/4 cup of maple syrup and 1/2 cup sugar for every 1 cup of honey. You can replace molasses with maple syrup in a one-to-one ratio. In each case, both the taste and texture will be affected by the substitution. Maple syrup is thinner than both honey and molasses.

Is golden syrup and honey the same thing?

Honey and golden syrup are both liquid sweeteners but they are not the same ingredient. Golden syrup is a very thick liquid sweetener which is a by-product of the sugar refining process. Honey is also an inverted sugar but honey tends to have a very distinctive flavour and so can affect the taste of the finished dish.

Why is there a dead lion on golden syrup?

This is a reference to the Biblical story in chapter 14 of the Book of Judges in which Samson was travelling to the land of the Philistines in search of a wife. During the journey he killed a lion, and when he passed the same spot on his return he noticed that a swarm of bees had formed a comb of honey in the carcass.

How do you soften golden syrup?

If the syrup turns too hard after cooling down, don’t panic. It’s because the syrup has cooked for too long and lost too much water. Just add some more water and cook again to your preferred consistency (vice versa, if the syrup is too runny, you can also heat it up and cook again)

Is it OK to eat expired syrup?

The short answer is technically no, syrup does not expire and you can keep an unopened container of the stuff on your shelf indefinitely. In other words, moldy syrup is still safe to eat—but you have to remove the mold first.
