"Main" spelling? I don't think so. According to the online Merriam-Webster:
siú?rup
less common spelling of SYRUP
Collins online says
sirup
in British English
NOUN
US a less common spelling of syrup
And for interest, WidiDiff says:
Syrup is an alternative form of sirup.
As nouns the difference between syrup and sirup is that syrup is any
thick liquid that is added to or poured over food as a flavouring and
has a high sugar content also any viscous liquid while sirup is
(obsolete) a thick and viscid liquid made from the juice of fruits,
herbs, etc, boiled with sugar.
So there! :-)
