Homemade Golden Syrup
Makes about 1/3 cup
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vinegar (distilled white, cider or white-wine)
1/3 cup light corn syrup
Place the sugar in a small heavy saucepan. Shake gently to form an even layer. Add the vinegar and 1 tablespoon of water. Cook, without stirring, over low heat for 5 minutes.
Increase the heat to moderate and cook for 5 minutes longer, or until the syrup has caramelized to a golden liquid. Immediately remove from the heat and pour in the corn syrup. The mixture will bubble up but do not stir. When all the bubbles have subsided, after 2 or 3 minutes, stir with a wooden spoon for a minute or so, until the caramel and corn syrup are thoroughly mixed.
Let cool to room temperature before using. If made ahead, store in a covered jar at room temperature.
Was looking through the book for something and came across this recipe and thought I would post it.
