Ingredients

  • 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 7 tablespoons dark molasses (treacle for my Aussie friends!)
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Method

  • Combine sugar and water in 2 quart saucepan.
  • Bring to simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly just until sugar dissolves.
  • Increase heat to high and continue cooking until syrup reaches 200 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low.
  • Stir in remaining ingredients and simmer 3 minutes.
  • This will keep 2-3 months tightly covered in the refrigerator.
