Hello and welcome Coold!
Yes, Karo syrup is indeed corn syrup. It comes in either light or dark. Usually one is used in BBQ sauces to help thicken and for flavor. Also, I have used the lighter one in frostings.

Yes, Karo light, dark and Corn Syrup light and dark are all the very same product just different names. I am able to get both here in N.W. Alberta, Canada and also did when I lived in Prince Rupert B.C. right on the coast. But in different parts of Canada and the USA you get one or the other by brand name Karo / Corn Syrup.

Corn syrup is indeed made from corn. An enzyme is commonly (but sometimes an acid) is used to convert the cornstarch to sugar. The more complete the conversion the sweeter the corn syrup is and the more viscous it is.

Hi Cashmeer,
I don't know enought about Karo or Steen's Syrup to answer your question. I can only suggest reading the posts on the subject to see if they sound similar.
We don't have either syrups available in Scotland.

Well, I did a search and yes they are the same. Steen's Syrup Mill in Abbeville, Louisiana is the world's largest syrup plant producing sugar cane syrup. Steen's 100% Pure Cane SyrupToday Steen's syrup is sold widely throughout Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. It is still grown and processed in Abbeville. Steen's molasses is used in a variety of oatmeal cookies. www.steensyrup.com/
