My can of Lyle's golden syrup says it is 'partially inverted refiners sugar'
if that helps!
325kcal/1380kj per 100g,80.5g carb per 100g.
After all the health blurb it says that 'a key to a healthy lifestyle is to
enjoy a variety of foods in moderation and to exercise regularly'!
I'm sure there's something in Victors FAQ that says what the US/UK
equivolent is.

Hope this helps

But they don't taste exactly the same; Karo is corn syrup and golden
syrup is cane syrup. They do seem to work the same in most recipes.

Isn't "cane" syrup a form of molasses? I believe molasses comes in a
variety of "strengths" I think, from golden to very dark brown. Even
though I have 'all of the above' in my pantry, I so rarely use any. One
of these days . . . <G>.

Nope. Molasses is a form of cane syrup.

"Cane syrup" is any syrup made from boiled sugar-cane juice. Molasses
is the dark, almost-bitter end of the scale, just below treacle. Golden
syrup is lighter and sweeter but still with plenty of flavour.

<VBG> Figures I'd get backwards yet again! Cane syrup = molasses =
cane syrup = molasses = cane syrup. I'm getting dizzy - oh wait - I
already am

Is this another boot|trunk & bonnet|hood kind of thing? My grandfather
always wanted "cane syrup" with his waffles, but I learned (the hard
way) that he meant molasses and not maple syrup!

No. Molasses is a byproduct of sugar manufacturing, and cane syrup is
simply reduced cane juice. So the syrup is significantly sweeter. The
cane syrup does have a bit of molasses flavor.

I use Steen's Cane Syrup in pecan pies, mixed some corn syrup.

Cane syrup contains ,molasses. When the sugar is crystallized out of
the cane syrup, you are left with molasses.

Just as some posters above you, pointed out.(BTW I just love there are
a few of us who obviously know sugar cane and its processes. I am
sure it is just a teeny weeny percentage of the modern world>)

I had to run in the kitchen and check by Karo is light corn syrup, high
fructose corn syrup, salt and vanilla flavor.

Golden syrup is much lighter in colour than molasses and not nearly as
strongly flavoured. Haven't seen 'light'molasses in the US. What brand
might that be?

Oh sorry, by "all of the above," I should have said I have the Karo &
cane syrups on hand. My bad. I don't know of any particular brand for
light molasses.

That's what I was after, do they work the same. A friend wants to make
pecan pie and my recipe calls for light Karo and I couldn't think of
anything but golden syrup to tell her as a substitute.

Seems to work OK. Just a different spread of sugars.

Golden syrup is nothing like Karo. It has a taste all it's own.

Karo is a corn syrup and can be light or dark.

Don't know if there is anything in the UK that is equvilent.

Don't know either. Never saw any but never looked for it.
