Cornless Corn Syrup

2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup water
1/4 tsp. Cream of Tartar
1 pinch salt


Directions:

1. Bring all ingredients to a boil, stirring constantly.
2. Reduce heat to a simmer and put cover for 3 minutes to get sugar crystals off the sides of the pan.
3. Uncover and simmer, stirring often, until it reaches the soft ball stage (about 225° f.)
4. Makes about 2 cups. ( i got slightly less than that)
   
   
   So I understand that the cream of tartar actually breaks the sugar into a fructose and glucose so doesn't necessarily make this "healthier" than corn syrup, but with Morgan having problems with Corn syrup, esp HFCS, this is a fabulous alternative.  It takes a bit more time and I think you want to cool this some before you actually use in any recipes but I love to be able to make anything from a true "scratch".
