Huletts Golden syrup is my absolute favourite. I love it on my pancakes, waffles, cake crumble, fruit salad and most of all on my icecream. However, in the wake of covid19 stores have ran short of stock hence I resorted to trying a homemade version. I honestly didn't imagine liking it at the same level as Huletts but I must say, I totally love it!

Steps

45minutes

1

Gather ingredients
2

In a shallow saucepan add tap water and ½cup of sugar. Allow to simmer on medium heat without stirring. Slowly add in the hot water without splashing. Now immediately add the remaining sugar. Again, DO NOT STIR!
3

Place the lemon slice and juice in the liquid and place a wooden spoon over the saucepan so that as the mixture becomes foamy, it does not spill. Let simmer for 40minutes on medium-low heat
4

If using a glass jar, take syrup off heat, let cool for a few minutes then transfer into a sterilized jar. Do not close until completely cooled
5

If using a plastic bottle, let syrup cool for not less than 15minutes. Then sit the bottle upright in a bowl of water as the syrup is poured in. Let cool then close the lid. It will keep at room temperature for a couple of months. I sterilized an empty Hullets bottle and filled it with my homemade golden syrup

Recently made syrup again and stored it in a clean glass juice bottle
