Corn syrup Substitution question

[shantytownbrown]

I have an icing/frosting recipe that calls for Corn Syrup, I found next to it in the mega-mart, a bottle of Lyle's Golden Syrup (ingredients:sugar cane syrup) (http://www.lylesgoldensyrup.com)

Can I substitute it 1:1? dose it contain the same "water" content?

Does anyone know what its Simple Syrup comparison is..1:1 2:1 etc, as making it at home would be much cheaper than this pricey UK import.

thanks in advance.

I was told a few years ago that in Europe, glucose can be purchased in many pharmacies, as it is considered useful in naturopathy. Check around and see if you can find it there.

I don't think there is a simple syrup equivalent, as it is an invert sugar.
