Lyle's Dessert Syrup Strawberry - 325g

In a British kitchen, Lyle's is a cupboard name. The golden syrup goes on porridge and into flapjacks. The dessert syrups are the pudding end of the family, there for the moment after tea when a plain bowl of vanilla needs finishing off.

People in Canada tend to come looking for this one by name. Usually a child has asked for "the pink one from Nana's", or someone has had a bowl of ice cream and felt something was missing from the top of it. The name on the label is what they remember, so that is what they search for.

A 325g pack goes a fair way, a drizzle at a time. Pour it over ice cream, pancakes or waffles, swirl it through a bowl of rice pudding or a milkshake, and put the lid back on before it goes back in the cupboard.

While they are at it, most people pick up a tin of Lyle's Golden Syrup for the flapjacks, and maybe the Black Treacle for a proper parkin or gingerbread. Strawberry for the pudding, golden for the baking, and the cupboard looks like home.
