I ran out of Karo Syrup!!

Ever say that? I have many times and wondered if you can make it from scratch. Yes, you can. Oh, yay! It is super easy and waaaay cheaper than buying it at the store. (You knew I was gonna say that, didn't you?)

Homemade light corn syrup

2 c white sugar
3\4 c water
1\4 t cream of tartar
dash of salt

Combine all ingredients in a large sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 3 minutes. Uncover and cook until it reaches soft ball stage. Stir often. Cool and store in a covered container at room temperature. Will keep for about 2 months. Makes almost 2 cups.

Megan you are so cool! I'm copying your recipes to use. I love basic recipes - especially when I run out of stuff!

Hi Megan! You are amazing! That's good to know.. I always run out of stuff like that (Knowing me though, I would still probably go to the store & buy it :]) My blog is private, but I'd love to send you an invite. Just email me! lyndsknight@gmail.com

Where were you Saturday when I ran to the store JUST for karo syrup??? I needed some caramel popcorn, that is a great recipe because I spent 3.15 for the bottle! Thanks for sharing!
