ZUKR Golden Syrup Replacement
A lightly thickened erythritol syrup for experimenting in your kitchen. It will not behave exactly like traditional golden syrup, and may recrystallise as it cools.
Ingredients:
- ZUKR (Erythritol): 200 grams (1 cup)
- Water: 240 millilitres (1 cup)
- Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum (Stabiliser): 1/4 teaspoon
- Lemon Juice or Cream of Tartar (Optional, for acidity): 1/2 teaspoon
- 1/4 teaspoon alcohol-free caramel flavouring/colour (optional; check the label)
Instructions:
-
Dissolving ZUKR:
- In a saucepan, combine the ZUKR and water.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the ZUKR is fully dissolved.
-
Adding Stabiliser:
- Slowly sprinkle xanthan gum or guar gum into the saucepan, continuously whisking to prevent clumping.
- Ensure that the stabiliser is fully incorporated into the mixture.
-
Adding Acidity (Optional):
- Add lemon juice or cream of tartar to the mixture if you want to add a slight acidity to mimic golden syrup.
- Stir well to combine.
-
Simmering:
- Reduce the heat and allow the mixture to simmer for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- The mixture should thicken slightly and become more syrupy.
-
Cooling and Storing:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, transfer the syrup to a clean, airtight container for storage.
- Refrigerate in a clean, covered container and use promptly. This is not a shelf-stable preserve.
