Homemade Golden Syrup

I made ginger biscuits for the 1st time a few weeks back. The recipe called for golden syrup which I didn't have. Instead I used honey. It turned out good but I want to see what the ori recipe will taste like. That led to this...

This first stage of a little water and sugar 

Watching the video on the side

This was the video. I followed it exactly...
 Mine turned out a lot darker and thicker as you will see.

Bubbling...

Starting to brown...

Just before stage 2...

Stage 2 with added water, sugar and a piece (1/4) of lemon. Scraped off the skin before chucking it in coz I dont trust any of the fruit I buy from the market.

Removing the lemon after the 45 minute simmer

The final product

Placed it in a sterilized used jam jar. Weighed 400+g

I think the total weight was close to 500g coz there was more in the pot.

The day after update...
It is super thick, flowing very slowly like lava. Dunno what to do abt that.
