      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Tip

This recipe will give you the consistancy of the squeeze bottle golden syrup, you can cook it longer with a little more heat if you want it thicker.

Can be kept in the pantry for a few months if you used a steralised jar.

If you have a TM31, use varoma temperature for both steps 1 and 2

    😥 Sadly my golden syrup didn't work out. I didn't have a lemon, however I thought the 'easy lemon' liquid in the bottle would be ok. I used 2 teaspoons 10ml.
    Is that the reason it didn't work.???

    We wanted to make gingerbread today and had run out of golden syrup. Thanks so much for your recipe! Wonderful recipe. Followed exactly as per instructions and it turned out perfectly! (I have a TM31 and used varoma for step 1 and 2). So excited that I'll never have to buy it again now that I can make my own! Smile

    Love this recipe. A tip I discovered today if you leave the lid on and pour the boiling water, lemon & sugar through the hole no splashback or risk of burning. I hope this helps.

    Submitted by nimpex on 27. August 2015 - 19:10.

    I made this in my TM31 and used it in Anzac biscuits. I will never buy golden syrup again! I followed the instructions and cooked it on varoma but it became  rock hard when it cooled down. So I made a second batch and this time did step 1 on varoma but step 2 on 100 degrees and that was perfect. Maybe I will try 5 minutes longer next time but I am very happy with this recipe. I also ran out of brown sugar and quickly made some for the biscuits and honestly, my biscuits taste the same as with the shop bought products!
