My can of Lyle's golden syrup says it is 'partially inverted refiners sugar'
if that helps!
325kcal/1380kj per 100g,80.5g carb per 100g.
After all the health blurb it says that 'a key to a healthy lifestyle is to
enjoy a variety of foods in moderation and to exercise regularly'!
I'm sure there's something in Victors FAQ that says what the US/UK
equivolent is.

Hope this helps

But they don't taste exactly the same; Karo is corn syrup and golden
syrup is cane syrup. They do seem to work the same in most recipes.

Isn't "cane" syrup a form of molasses? I believe molasses comes in a
variety of "strengths" I think, from golden to very dark brown. Even
though I have 'all of the above' in my pantry, I so rarely use any. One
of these days . . . <G>.

Nope. Molasses is a form of cane syrup.

"Cane syrup" is any syrup made from boiled sugar-cane juice. Molasses
is the dark, almost-bitter end of the scale, just below treacle. Golden
syrup is lighter and sweeter but still with plenty of flavour.

<VBG> Figures I'd get backwards yet again! Cane syrup = molasses =
cane syrup = molasses = cane syrup. I'm getting dizzy - oh wait - I
already am 😉

Is this another boot|trunk & bonnet|hood kind of thing? My grandfather
always wanted "cane syrup" with his waffles, but I learned (the hard
way) that he meant molasses and not maple syrup!

Nah, it's not a bonnet/hood thing, really. Your grandfather was being
insufficiently specific about what form of cane syrup he wanted. 🙂

Golden syrup is nothing like Karo. It has a taste all it's own.

Karo is a corn syrup and can be light or dark.

Don't know if there is anything in the UK that is equvilent.

No. Molasses is a byproduct of sugar manufacturing, and cane syrup is
simply reduced cane juice. So the syrup is significantly sweeter. The
cane syrup does have a bit of molasses flavor.

I use Steen's Cane Syrup in pecan pies, mixed some corn syrup.

Cane syrup contains ,molasses. When the sugar is crystallized out of
the cane syrup, you are left with molasses.

Just as some posters above you, pointed out.(BTW I just love there are
a few of us who obviously know sugar cane and its processes. I am
sure it is just a teeny weeny percentage of the modern world🙂>😉

Of course, that's why it's a byproduct when sugar is made from cane
juice.

But cane syrup is not a form of molasses.

Maple syrup is produced from sap from the sugar maple tree and has
nothing at all to do with molasses, cane syrup, treacle, golden syrup or
and other sugar cane derived syrup.

True, and I also differentiate between molasses (which is made
from cane or sorghum but is loaded with iron and minerals,
giving it color) and just plain sugar syrup, which is clear or at
most golden (with the color coming from carmelization, not
minerals).

One would hope so. However, simple syrup is not the same thing a cane
syrup.

Yep, definitely so 😉 For some reason, I've always equated molasses to
cane syrup although this isn't the case. Just one of those
holdover-from-childhood things, I suppose.

Cane syrup definitely has a bit of a molasses flavor to it. I've found
that pecan pie made with all cane syrup is a little heavy that way, but
mixed with corn syrup it's good.

I had to run in the kitchen and check by Karo is light corn syrup, high
fructose corn syrup, salt and vanilla flavor.
