First problem is, I can't weigh 116g golden syrup without making a mess. My CYC requires 4 level tablespoons. Can someone approximate 116g in spoonfuls for me please?

Ta.

I put the bowl/saucepan straight on the scales to weigh out syrup or I get into a hell of a mess - could you do that with your scales??

160°C should be OK but keep a close eye on it after the 40 minute mark

I managed without getting too messy.

I've just put it into the oven. My CYC has about 30-40 minutes to go, so I'll check it then, and turn it down to 150°C. :cool:

Mixture tastes nice...mmmm ginger. :drool:

Remember though, you need to let it cool and then store it away for at least 3 days to get the full gingery, syrupy gooey stickiness of it

Oh, that's not a problem. I've had practice with the CYC which needs a couple of days in foil to improve.

Well, it didn't look too tricky, so I thought I'd have a go.

I'm no longer the MBE of early February who couldn't boil an egg. :cool:

That looks just about perfect Have you stuck a skewer through it to make sure it's cooked all the way through?
