Local substitute for corn syrup

tigadee, May 24, 12:25am
Hi all. I am trying to find corn syrup for a recipe but can't seem to find it. Is there a substitute for corn syrup which can be easily found or do any of you know (in Auckland) know where I can find it! Thanks!

I use glucose syrup, according to the label it is derived from corn. I'm not sure if it is the same thing but it seems to work. http://shop.countdown.co.nz/#url=/Shop/SearchProducts%3Fsearch%3Dglucose%2Bsyrup

Corn syrup = Glucose syrup in the sugar aisle of the supermarket.Australian brand 'Queen' 500gm with a yellow label and a red lid costs just under $5.00 (gluten free).

You can substitute for honey.

Note to self: Treacle does not make a good substitue, too sweet. I'm guessing it'll be the same with honey or maple syrup. All three also inlfuence the colour of final results.

Corn syrup is used a lot in baking in the US (popular brand name Karo).There you can buy either light or dark corn syrup.

I do recommend the Queen brand I mentioned above.

Marthers backyard in Mt Wellington, Auckland is an American store and they sell the karo corn syrup. Ring first though just to make sure they have it in stock.
