Syrup

Sugar Beet Syrup

Sugar beet syrup (Rübensirup, Zuckerrübensirup) is a thick, dark concentrate of sugar-beet juice—caramel-malty and less sharp than blackstrap cane molasses. A Northern European pantry staple for bread, baking, and breakfast spreads. Use like mild molasses in gingerbread and rye baking. Distinct from refined white beet sugar and from cane molasses.

Also known as: Rübensirup, Suikerbietstroop, Beet Syrup
