I have a BBQ sauce recipe that has Molasses which I don't have, wondered if golden syrup could be a substitute.

Molasses is darker and has a slightly bitter taste, but it is still a sugar derivative so should work.

If you're making a large quantity to bottle and keep, I'd wait and buy the molasses because you will get the real BBQ flavour.If you can't wait, why not make just a small quantity and see if you like it?It's a lot of work to do if you're likely to be disappointed at the result.

try a very dark muskovardo sugar though it will be allot sweeter than Molasses or Treacle which is half Molasses half golden syrup. Golden syrup would be just toooo sweet.

I think buy themolasses and make it the right way is the answer, cheers

I suggest buying the molasses first- the flavour really is quite a bit different to golden syrup and BBQ sauce in particular wouldn't taste the same if the recipe asks for it :-)
