Corn syrup substitute?

I can't find it on the Lewis & Cooper website, but it is on the Ocado website.
Selfridge's has had it in the past, and House of Fraser.

Selfridge's had it last weekend.

I just bought some off of americansweets.co.uk

I saw that they had Karo but only the dark. And then something that's obviously new (well to me) is their pancake syrup made with artificial maple flavour - why not use the real McCoy?bother).

I found this recipe to substitute Corn Syrup in recipes - its aimed at people with Corn allergies, but simple enough.  Its the cheaper alternative to buying over-inflated import Corn Syrup... However, I have no clue as to how it would taste comparably in Pecan Pie.

Are you really suprised with fake-flavour everything else, why not sell Fakle Syrup?

Ya know, I think that would work. I'd probably add a bit of vanilla.

No not really. Looking for a business partner?

LOL, you know it would probably sell better than most if for no other reason than the novelty of the name alone.

It probably would! Like those cigs of long ago called Death. Truth in advertising. 

My family are die-hard pecan pie eaters, and I've made it a few times since moving here.  I used golden syrup and really had no problems at all.  You should have heard the rave reviews my pie always gets here--nobody has ever had the real deal of homemade pecan pie.  I thought it tasted great with the golden syrup still.

I've seen it at Partridges, along with molasses.

I just had a thought I think Jamie Oliver had pecan pie ecipe in his new American cookbook with the UK recipe for it, but I could be mistaken since I only got a bit of a cursory glance at it.

apparently treacle is the equivalent to dark corn syrup - give it a go. actually i might myself and report back. you'll find it wherever golden syrup is in the supermarkets.

Treacle is the equivalent of molasses.  It's like sludge in a tin. 

Treacle is nothing like dark corn syrup.

But I found dark corn syrup in a Asian food shop in Cambridge, (and it wasn't as if it was some big US import store either) so if they have it there I bet some other Asian shops will have it.

i think the artificial maple syrup tastes better and is thicker.  I wouldn't buy the 'real McCoy'.
