Homemade Light Corn Syrup Alternative

I have no real idea if this is good, if it will work or not, but it is an interesting idea.

Homemade Light Corn Syrup

This DIY corn syrup substitute is made without corn starch. It's basically a sugar syrup that you can use in recipes in place of corn syrup.

servings:  2 cups

ingredients

2 cups white sugar

3/4 cup water

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

1 dash salt

directions

Combine all ingredients in a heavy, large pan. Stir and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to a simmer and put cover on it for 3 minutes to get sugar crystals off the sides of the pan.

Uncover and cook until it reaches soft ball stage (235 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Stir often.

Cool syrup and store in a covered container at room temperature. It will keep for about 2 months.
