Lyle's Golden Syrup has been named as the Britain's oldest brand, with its green and gold packaging having remained almost unchanged since 1885.

The classic tins, whose design has changed little in 120 years, carry the biblical inscription "out of the strong came forth sweetness".

Mmmmm. Yummy. I have a tin of the stuff in my kitchen. It truly is the best Golden Syrup on the market.

When I feel like a little indulgence then out it comes as the crucial ingrediant when making Golden Syrup Dumplings or Steamed Golden Syrup Pudding. Add to either desert lashings of cream and you're set.
