How to Make Molasses Substitute
6
Put sugar and water into a sauce pan over medium-high heat. Cook stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved and a thick syrup is formed. Cool and put into a jar.
*** This is a substitute... not the real thing!
Brown sugar is made by adding molasses to it... so this syrup will have a very mild molasses flavor, but using this substitute could alter the flavor of the recipe (less molasses flavor).
Maple syrup
2 cups white sugar
1 cup boiling water
½ teaspoon maple flavored extract
In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, and stir in maple flavoring. Serve warm.
Corn syrup
2 C. sugar
3/4 C. water
1/4 tsp cream of tarter
Dash of salt
Combine all 4 ingredients in heavy saucepan over medium heat; Stirring constantly until mix comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cook until it reaches 230-240 F on candy thermometer. Cool completely.
Simple syrup
3 TBS water
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
Bring the above two items to a slow simmer in a saucepan over medium heat.
Golden syrup
1-1/4 cups boiling water (use your tea pot to heat water)
2-1/2 cups granulated white sugar
slice of lemon
Once the 3 TBS and 1/2 cup sugar turns to a caramel/golden color, slowly add the boiling water; followed by the 2-1/2 cups white sugar. Again bring it to a slow simmer and add the slice of lemon. Simmer on low heat for approximately 40 -50 minutes or until syrup mixture is reduced in half.
Remove the lemon slice and pour into a clean glass jar after the syrup cools. It will thicken as it cools and sits for a day or two. Makes approximately 2 cups and will keep for two months.
