Can I use Golden Syrup instead of honey

smokey112

I have a lovely piece of smoked gammon in the Freezer that I bought just before Christmas (reduced from £7 to £3.50 and well in date)

I wanted to use it this weekend by cooking in SC then finishing off in hot oven with Honey and maybe mustard glaze - I don't have any Honey left but have loads of Golden Syrup - could I use this instead

Thanks in advance for you advice

I'd give it a go - probably be lovely.

Yes! I love gammon with syrup topping. Just be careful not to overcook as the syrup burns

It's really nice with marmalade too.

I used to have golden syrup sandwiches (and sugar sandwiches) as a kid; didn't taste honey till I left home.

Personally if it was me I'd be doing a Coca cola ham it's yummy

Definitely try it,I've done a ham with black treacle which was good.

I love Golden Syrup,its such a British ingredient.I tried the Tesco version,but it just doesn't taste like Lyle's.The tin design hasn't changed for years,like the Marmite jar and the Worcester Sauce bottle-makes me feel all nostalgic

I get through loads of G.S 'cos I make flapjacks for my children's school healthy tuck shop.They're not actually that healthy;the oats are but the butter(has to be butter),sugar and syrup aren't still,that's what I'm asked to make,flapjacks and muffins(I gather the teachers eat most of them).

thanks all

I will try the cola ham - maybe not this week as I don't have any black treacle and am watching me pennies

Cheers
