Pale treacle (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

golden syrup

'pale treacle' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for golden syrup that I've seen before include "Product of the evaporation of cane sugar juice" , "Sticky, sugary yellow foodstuff" , "sweetener" , "Light treacle used in 5 down" , "which could make for sticky situation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
