Golden Syrup

An important ingredient needed to make moon cake. This year I am going to try to make traditional moon cakes after I received my moulds!!!



Golden syrup cannot be used immediately it needs to be aged for at least 2 weeks.

I managed to prepare a batch just before I leave for my vacation & when I returned, it will be ready! :) 

Colours transition from initial to end. About 45 minutes process. 

Here is a simple recipe from Asian Delights - All Time Favourite Recipes by Betty Yew, one of my oldest recipe book ;) 

Ingredients: 
600g sugar 
1 & 3/4 cup of water 
Lemon juice from 1/2 of a large lemon 

Preparation steps:
1. Put all the ingredients in a pot & bring to boil. 
2. Switch the heat to med-low & slow bubbles until the mixture turned golden in colour. 
3. Turn off the heat & leave to cool. Transfer to a bottle for storage.
4. Set aside for at least 2 weeks before use. 

Voilà! 

Chin's notes: 
1. Don't forget to label the date on your bottle.
