5.0 out of 5 stars much better than tins November 2, 2007

I first discovered "golden syrup" in the beautiful green & gold tins. While not nearly as lovely on the shelf, the transparent plastic bottles are MUCH superior in measuring, pouring and storage. I found the tin imparted a nasty metallic taste to the syrup, if stored after opening. So, I started substituting dark corn syrup whenever possible :(
Squeezing the syrup into a measuring spoon or cup is easier, tidier and more accurate than pouring or dipping. No bitter off-taste and better unit price? GREAT! I'm stocking up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary product! February 4, 2012

By Michael Connor

I've been using this for pecan pie and other baked goods for about fifteen years, because I just can't tolerate the cloying, mouth-drying sweetness of corn syrup. It's been very hard to find in recent years, though, so I'm delighted to find it here. It has a really clean, subtly caramel flavor, and an incomparably rich texture. It substitutes for anything you would use genetically-engineered corn syrup for, and you'll be much happier with the results!

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay for pancakes but not as good as the can. July 21, 2010

By Willoughby

The canned version is better (for everything) as it is thicker and tastier. The bottle version seems to be looser and not as flavorful. It is admittedly more convenient, but I don't think the convenience is worth the loss of flavor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, poor packing March 8, 2007

By Gordon P. Peet

As a kid I grew up enjoying Lyle's Golden Syrup. Our family had it as a special treat and to help medicine go down! It has been difficult to find here in America, especially at a reasonable price, so I was very happy to find it at Amazon. I have ordered it twice now and will continue to order it in the future. I like the bottles it comes in, they are so much easier to use than the traditional tin cans. The only problem I have had is with our second order. The bottles were not packed very securely in the box and a couple of them burst open during shipping. When we opened the box there was syrup all over the interior, a gooey mess. When we informed Amazon of the problem they immediately sent a replacement order which arrived in a timely fashion. I was very pleased with their response although a little worried since the packing of the second box didn't look much more secure than the first. It did make if safely though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for homemade marshmallows August 5, 2012

My son has a corn allergy and it is very hard to find "corn free" marshmallows for making smores. I found a recipe online that uses this golden syrup instead of corn syrup. The marshmallows created from this were FANTASTIC.
This is exactly what we hoped for. Since we bought the 6 pack now we are using it for other things as well. It's great on oatmeal for example.

5.0 out of 5 stars The very best syrup! February 2, 2011

Lyle's Golden Syrup tastes great on cornbread, pancakes, muffins, and waffles. Pecan pie tastes better with it. The price was better through Amazon than at the only grocery store in my area that carries it. My order arrived quickly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice alternative to corn syrup December 6, 2012

By BLN

Amazon Verified Purchase

Works perfectly in place of corn syrup for everything...my homemade marshmallows, caramels, brittles, etc have all acted the exact same as when I've used corn syrup, and this is a fraction of the price of organic corn syrup. I just wish there was an American made alternative!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The answer for Bakers & Moms for the allergic-to-corn set October 20, 2012

By SuAyres

My daughter is violently allergic to corn. So many recipes call for corn syrup, including dishes my daughter loves. So you can imagine how happy I was to discover that Lyle's works every bit as well as corn syrup in those beloved treats. If anything, we find the flavors and textures a bit rounder and more flavorful than the ones made with corn syrup. So, there you have it!
