Treacle is dark, thick, shiny syrup that is a mixture of cane molasses and syrup. Originally produced by Lyle’s in East London in 1950, it is similar to American blackstrap molasses, but thicker, with an even stronger bittersweet flavor. It’s much more intense than golden syrup or cane syrup, making it ideal for lending depth to desserts, gingerbread, savory dishes, glazes and marinades. And while this versatile syrup will no doubt get a workout as a pantry staple, the classic decorative tin is reason enough to buy it. Repurpose the tins to house a scented candle, potted plant, sewing kit, pens and pencils, or use them collectively to organize small kitchen items.

How to use

Abram Lyle built a sugar refinery on the Thames in East London in 1881.

His first product was Lyle’s Golden Syrup, calling it “Goldie,” which he sold from wooden casks. In 1883 the company started packaging the syrup in popular green and gold tins, and both the classic syrup and the distinctive packaging have remained unchanged to this day. In 1950, the company went on to add Lyle’s Black Treacle, a distinct bittersweet syrup for those looking for a more intense alternative to Lyle’s Golden Syrup.
