Golden syrup is an inverted sugar syrup often found in recipes for American and English sweets. It is thick and amber in color. It is very popular in the U.S. and can be found in almost every major supermarket. We can't find it on store shelves, so we'll make it ourselves.The texture of golden syrup resembles honey and is an alternative. You can substitute it for honey in recipes, for example, if you have allergies or when there is no honey on hand.
