Golden syrup
Description
I love recipes like this! No fuss or hassle — golden syrup is ready! Just spend 5 minutes making sure the sugar dissolves, then simply let your slow cooker do the work. Golden syrup can replace honey or glucose in baking, desserts, and icing. This recipe is designed for slow cooker owners, but I'll also explain how to prepare it in a heavy-bottomed or double-bottomed saucepan. Happy cooking!

Add freshly squeezed lemon juice and cook the syrup for 50 minutes in "Multicook" mode (t – 110°C) with the lid open, or over very low heat in a saucepan for 45–50 minutes, without stirring. The syrup temperature should not exceed 110°C. The syrup will acquire a honey-like color and will be slightly thinner in consistency.
