Hershey's syrup - How much in a can?

18 years ago

I bought a bottle of Hershey's CARAMEL flavored syrup this morning. I was thinking of using that old recipie for Brownies -- Only use the Caramel and brown sugar instead of chocolate.

Do you know how much syrup is/was in the original can.

The recipie calls for one can!

Wow! I'm glad I asked. I was going to guess one cup. That would be 2 cups.

Thank you!

canning peaches with sugar in jar instead of syrup...

I think I may have posted this before, but when I spoke to the orchardist at our farmers market, she told me she packs a quart jar with peach slices (mostly for the measurement), adds 1/4 c sugar and 1 tsp fruit fresh, shakes it around, pours it into a ziplock bag and freezes on a cookie sheet, so it stays nice and flat. She claims when slightly thawed, they are spectacular snacks. Her family gobbles them up. (This she told to me after I had canned six quarts and made my kitchen into a big ole sticky mess!!) Haven't tried it, but will next year. This year, I have my six quarts and that's plenty for me, as DH doesn't eat peaches.

Help! Do You Have a CAN of Hershey's Choc Syrup?

According to Hershey’s CustServ just now, the actual formula for the Hershey’s Syrup formerly in 16 oz. cans (regrettably discontinued 12/17) and in the plastic squeeze bottles is the same. But: the recipes they used to print on their can labels usually called for 1 canfull, and the amount of syrup neede was based on 16 oz. weight - a pound - NOT 16 oz. volume - a pint. They’re apparently rolling out a replacement for the old cans in the form of a 1-lb pouch, so I’ll be keeping an eye out for those...

I want to make cherry syrup and can it
Q

I think it's false advertising to tout commercial pectin as infallible. It seduces people into believing it works 100% of the time - and it doesn't. Liquid pectin is especially problematic. I'll bet there's more than one CF member who ended up with Habanero Gold Syrup instead of jelly. I love sour cherry preserves. Never made just jelly, but I'm betting it will be wonderful. In Greece Sour Cherry Preserves (Vissino Glyko) are a traditional spoon sweet. It tells you what unreliable setters cherries are that there's an old expression for a grumpy woman: "What's the matter with you? Your vissino didn't thicken?" Sour cherries are high acid but low pectin. I never bother with the commercial pectin, but I never get better than a soft set and I can live with that. The flavor is out of this world good; I don't mind a drippy biscuit. If the cherries are dead-ripe, reduce the sugar. The natural sugars + all the added sugar will throw off the pectin-acid-sugar balance and inhibit the set. If you have it, just a pinch (maximum 1/4 tsp. per batch) ascorbic acid is good for color retention. And if you make more than one batch, consider Amaretto or vanilla bean (vanilla sugar) or a drop of cinnamon oil. They're all lovely additions. Carol

Oh, Boy! Did those ever turn out good!

I added 1/4 cup more flour and about 1/8 tsp. baking powder. Then I topped it with a brown sugar iceing.

Thanks Phyllis!

If you have one of those church cookbooks from the 70's or 80's, I'm sure it would be in there (only with the chocolate syrup)

I don't know how long the Hersery's company has made the syrup in Caramel flavor, but I just noticed it.

So I just switched the chocolate to caramel and changed the white sugar to brown. It was a little thinner batter then I remember so I added the extra flour and baking powder.

I'll put it in a new thread, OK

What I can't figure out is why on the Hershey SyrupÂ® website they say to use 1 Â½ cups OR one 16oz can of syrup. Is the stuff in the plastic bottle more concentrated? Why wouldn't they say to use 2 cups?

Here is the recipe on their website:

That's a good question, dilly dally. I'm "guessing" that figuring 8oz's per cup are for fluids ounces and that caramal has some weight on it so it may convert over differently.

Here's a site that lists honey (which sort of seems similar to me). It says 8 oz of honey equals .67 of a US cup. Notice how the lists has "fluid oz" and "ounce- oz" separately.

DillyDally and Carla!

That is very interesting.
I noticed that the Caramel syrup in the bottle made the brownies thinner then I thought they should be --So that is why I added an extra 1/4 cup of flour and 1/8 tsp of baking powder.

So the syrup in the bottle must be thinner then the can, and that is why they call for less. (1 1/2 cup instead of 16 oz.)

With that in mind, you can follow the amounts in the original recipie and use the 1 1/2 c. syrup and leave out the extra flour and B.P. I thought it was a little sweeter then it needed to be.

I only looked up the recipie in my old cookbook. I didn't think of the Hershey's site.
