Lyle's Black Treacle 2x7.26kg

THICK, DARK AND PROPERLY BITTERSWEET: Black treacle is cane molasses at its boldest, a heavy pouring syrup with a deep, faintly smoky bitterness sitting behind the sweetness. It is what gives gingerbread its colour, parkin its chew and treacle toffee its snap, and one spoonful changes a bake more than any other jar in the cupboard. Free from artificial colours, flavours and preservatives, gluten free and suitable for vegetarians. Bold, distinctive and unmistakably Lyle's. FOR TRADITIONAL BAKERS AND CURIOUS COOKS: Christmas puddings, parkin, gingerbread, treacle tart, ginger cake, treacle toffee and dark fruit loaves all ask for black treacle, and nothing else quite does its job. Home bakers reach for it from autumn onwards, brewers add a cheeky splash to darken a stout, and cooks stir it into dark sauces for depth. Two or three tablespoons is all a traditional recipe needs. One container covers a whole season of baking. TWO 7.257KG CONTAINERS, OVER FOURTEEN KILOS IN ONE ORDER: The case format for production kitchens, craft brewers and manufacturers who measure treacle in kilos per week. Two sealed containers mean you open one at a time while the second keeps perfectly, so nothing sits half used and thickening at the back of the store. Keep both cool and dry, warm slightly before weighing large amounts, and expect the last kilo to behave like the first. Fewer orders, less packaging, same bittersweet syrup. SWEET OR SAVOURY, IT EARNS ITS PLACE EITHER WAY: Treacle is not only for puddings. Whisk it into a barbecue glaze for ribs, brush it over gammon or roast root vegetables, or stir it through baked beans, dark gravy and marinades for a bittersweet edge. On the sweet side it works with golden syrup for gingerbread, with oats and ginger for parkin, and with cinnamon and mixed spice for anything festive. We dare you to find a dish it does not make more delightful. PURE CANE, NOTHING ARTIFICIAL, SINCE 1883: Made from cane molasses and partially inverted refiners syrup, with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, gluten free and suitable for vegetarians. Lyle's has been drizzling its sticky, spec-taste-ular magic into British cupboards since Abram Lyle set up at the Thames Refinery in Silvertown, London. 140 years and we've not aged a day, on a recipe that has barely changed. Every bake a little more joyful, a little more Lyle's.
