treacle definition and meaning

What is "treacle "?

Treacle is a thick, dark syrup-like substance that is produced by refining sugar cane or sugar beets. During the refining process, the sugarcane or sugar beet juice is boiled and concentrated, resulting in the formation of treacle. The juice is heated until most of the water evaporates, leaving behind a viscous and intensely flavored syrup. Treacle is known for its deep, caramel-like taste and is often used as a sweetener and flavoring agent in various culinary applications. Its robust flavor and sticky consistency make it a popular choice for desserts, such as treacle tart, as well as for glazes and marinades in savory dishes.
