Golden Syrup
 

Is there a Spanish equivalent of golden syrup, if so what is it called. Thanks.

I don't know if there's an equivalent but I've seen Golden Syrup in El Corte Inglés, with the baking stuff (I think).

Miel de caña

Re: Golden Syrup
 

Yes it's probably the nearest equivalent but it's nothing remotely like Golden Syrup.

It has a much stronger flavour - fabulous but not the same.

Would you put Golden Syrup on fried Aubergine slices - I hope not.

Re: Golden Syrup
 

Thank you I will give Miel de caña a try.

Re: Golden Syrup
 

Miel de cana isn't really remotely like golden syrup... :blink:

Re: Golden Syrup
 

golden syrup = sirope dorado = melaza clara (light molasses)

Apparently it can be substituted by light corn syrup* (jarabe/miel de maiz clara) mixed equally with honey (miel (de abeja).

*Try looking for the brand "Karo" in either Carrefour or Hipercor.

Yes, only £2.38 plus £23 delivery.

Sounds like a good option:(

Next time you go to Fuengirola pop into the Iceland store, they have it there.

Miel de cana is like a cross between dark treacle and golden syrup. So if you're using a recipe that requires both you can use it in place of the two. (add the quantities together. If you find that's too strong use a little less because we can all do with less sugar anyway these days. if you really must have the sweetness as well add the Miel de cana instead of the treacle and half of the syrup and substitute the other half of the syrup with sugar. It was me who asked the question the last time BTW and I've found this does fit the bill.

Re: Golden Syrup
 

I would say that Miel De Caña has a more caremelised, slightly bitter taste which makes it taste slightly less sweet than Golden Syrup or Honey.

That's why it works well sprinkled on deep fried aubergines or Tortillas de Camerones where Golden Syrup would taste far too sweet.

It's lovely stuff but you have to know where to use it.
