I can remember my Gran talking about treacle, but I honestly don't know what that is. Is it like molasses? Nancy

Hi Nancy, Yes, Treacle is dark molasses. The lighter coloured variety is called Golden Syrup. Light gingerbread would be made with the golden syrup, but parkin definitely calls for Black Treacle! Janice

I recall both treacle and golden syrup aas a lad a sweet called treacle dumplings with cream was a real treat molassis thick black as black used as a stock feed supliment treacle dark coloured not quite black reasonably thick ( more like honey) golden syrup light golden brown not as thick but not as runny as maple syrup bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Koop, Nancy (JUS)" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 11:44 PM Subject: [YORKSHIRE] Parkin >I can remember my Gran talking about treacle, but I honestly don't know >what that is.
