Substitute for molasses (unsulphured)?
I'm an American living in the UK, and I'm used to baking American recipes that call for unsulphured molasses. My stash of Grandma's molasses is running low, however, and I can't find it here!
Which of the following would you suggest as the closest substitute? A combination of the following would also be great!
I have:
-treacle
-blackstrap molasses
-dark corn syrup
-sorghum syrup
I also have golden syrup and light corn syrup, in case they are useful for a combination, as well as demerara sugar.
Thanks!

My Food Substitutions Bible says, if substituting sugar for 1c molasses, use 3/4c sugar and 1/4c hot water (175 + 60 ml, respectively). If using in baking,also add 1.25 tsp (6 ml) cream of tartar to replace the acidity the molasses had but the sugar doesn't.
