A friend in Australia suggested I blitz the regular sugar in a food processor for a few seconds to make it finer but won't bother now I think :)<br /><br />Thank you for the syrup comparison...I won't have to buy each bottle now for a taste test ;)<br /><br />I will get brave now and start experimenting with macaroons. We are getting married next summer and I want a dessert/candy buffet filled with lots of yummy things and macaroons will be front and centre. I am also going to attempt your Princess cake recipe (undoubtedly the BEST thing Sweden has ever produced heehee) for my birthday in September. It HAS to be better than the ICA variety (and even they are pretty darn good).

So that's what I use. I actually JUST froze macaron shells on their own, but I think they'll be perfectly fine to use when I decide what to fill them with. Usually I fill them right away, then freeze the entire cookie. That works really well too, they're just as good when they're defrosted. (Maybe even better.) <br /><br />Golden syrup - that's what I translate from our "ljus sirap". It's very similar. The "mörk sirap" is similar to treacle or molasses, but maybe a bit runnier. And the white one isn't exactly like a corn syrup but I've found it works well enough in recipes that call for that.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18224478760304481724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814165.post-42635584582725787962010-06-14T07:30:53.945+02:002010-06-14T07:30:53.945+02:00I have recently moved to Sweden (from Australia) a...I have recently moved to Sweden (from Australia) and am learning lots of great recipes from you. My Swedish sambo is utterly impressed..thank you :)<br /><br />2 questions about the macaroons (as I drool all over my computer...I LOVE macaroons but have never been brave enough to try them)...where can I buy caster sugar in Sweden? Haven't found it anywhere...2nd question ; have you frozen the shells and do they work as well or better fresh on the day...oh, just thought of a third question. I saw a few recipes needing golden syrup. What is the equivalent here...i have seen all the different coloured syrups in ICA but not sure what they would be...is one like a corn syrup, one like golden syrup and the dark one like treacle or molasses? They don't seem as thick?!
