Overview
A pantry shelf in a baker's kitchen is where this tin earns its keep, filled with thick golden syrup made by evaporating cane sugar juice. The syrup is partially inverted sugar and has a light smell similar to honey.
Cooks use it for its buttery sweetness, which the description says improves everything from pancakes to pecan pie. The tin is easy to store. The limitation is the metal tin, which takes care to pour neatly, and the title that shows the Tate and Lyle name.
Who it's for
Pancake mornings, pecan pie and rice pudding are the dishes the description names. Vegan, kosher and gluten free cooks are covered by the tags. Someone who wants a pump bottle, or a low sugar option, will need another product.

Performance notes
Partial inversion holds the syrup smooth and prevents sugar crystals, which is why it pours thick and stays golden. The flavor is buttery and mild instead of harsh. In baking it adds moisture and a light caramel note.
