I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
1. Add 100g brown or raw sugar and 30g water to bowl. Cook for 15 mins/120 degrees/speed 1 (MC on)
2. Add 500g sugar, 2 slices of lemon and 260g boiling water(be careful as it can splash a little and it's hot!!!) Cook for 40 mins/120 degrees/reverse/speed 1 (MC off)
3. Put simmering basket into bowl and strain syrup into sterilised jar. Leave to cool with lid off for around an hour and it will thicken.
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

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.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

So quick and easy to make had a craving for golden syrup on damper 😋
LEMON VS LIME VS NONE
"Gentle stir setting"
I made a LOT of gingerbread this Christmas so 4 batches of this golden syrup was made. Fantastic savings!
A couple of notes: I didn't have lemon so I used lime in the first batch. It left a strong lime taste which wasn't that noticeable in gingerbread but was noticeable when I tried to make honeycomb. I wouldn't use lime again if I could help it. The second batch I tried without any citrus. It cystalised into lumps as it cooled. Not so bad if you use it immediately before it cools but that could be tricky with a full batch. So I sent my husband out to buy a lemon and used that for the final two batches. Much better taste (just like shop bought) and no cystalising!
Is the water amount correct here. Everything is doubled from the inbuilt cookido recipe except for the water. ???
This is amazing! and each batch only costs 81c to make!
Thanks for an awesome recipe!
Perfect. I didn't have lemon, so left it out and worked perfectly. I made this in my TM31, and did both steps on varoma as per tips, but also extended the cooking time by 15mins.
Lemon question....
like others i dont have whole lemoms, can I put in a teaspoon or tablespoon of juice?
Can lemon juice be used in place of lemon slices please? If so, how much?
Fantastic, easy to follow instructions and the end result is far better than the shop bought version. Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic recipe. Better to use brown sugar for first step too
Happy Thermomixing!

Aunty Mara try using lime slices instead - would love to know the outcome - lemons and limes are interchangeable - I think the citrus is added to stop crystallisation so lime should do that too.
