Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of light corn syrup, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 cup of water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture continuously to dissolve the sugar completely.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally. Avoid boiling it too vigorously to prevent crystallization.
Once the sugar has fully dissolved and the syrup has a smooth consistency (around 5–7 minutes of simmering), remove the saucepan from the heat.
Let the syrup cool slightly before transferring it to an airtight container or jar.
Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Stir or shake before use if needed.
