How to make Light "Corn" Syrup
I can't stand corn syrup, so I came up with this alternative. So far it appears to work as a corn syrup replacement in all the recipes I've tried. Let me know if you bump into something where it is not as effective.
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. Stir often.
Cool syrup and store in a covered container at room temperature. It will keep for about 2 months. Makes almost 2 cups.

oh, and do you think granulated sugar would work okay instead of white sugar?

wanderyng1 saysGranulated sugar should work fine, but I'm uncertain about whether it could be used to make taffy or not. I suspect it could, but I'd hate to steer you wrong and then not have it work.

Do you think it would work making saltwater taffy? I don't have corn syrup in my country, so I need an alternative. The thing is i can't risk trying it out because i only have enough food colouring and sugar for one try.
