Golden Syrup

[rockyracoon]

It's crystallised in the jar, is there anything I can do to uncrystallise it?

Thanks :)

Zap it in the microwave - as long as it's a jar rather than a tin! Same applies to crystallised honey.

Dunno. Have you tried heating it ?
Don't think I'd care.

I know that when honey crystallises, you can heat it up in the microwave or in a pan of hot water. (Obviously don't try it with the squeezy plastic bottles!)

I would imagine that syrup is the same?

[rockyracoon]

Thanks, I'll do the microwave, how long?

[2sp_]

I'd bung it in for 20 seconds or so and check it. You can always stick it on for another zap.

[rockyracoon]

Thanks all :)

Of course, you could just eat it quicker...

Then there'd be none left for my gingersnaps ;)

I use it to make smartie cookies so I get the squeezy bottles. Never had a problem with it crystallising.

Are you ginger this week Rocky?

[rockyracoon]

Sadly no, Dave. I might go for it next week though, the grey needs covering :)

Sp, I've never had a problem before when I bought the tins rather than jars, honey in the squeezy thing crystallises in this house so I might have to change the cupboards round.

If done in a microwave....use low power for longer. Don't forget that it's only sugar and doesn't respond well to high power microwaving.

Okey domes, thanks ginge :)
