cream of tartar instead of corn syrup
(1 rating)
Corn syrup prevents sugar crystals from forming. If making a candy you can substitute a dash of lemon juice or cream of tartar, which performs nearly the same function. If you want syrup, use this recipe. I learned this from my high school home economics teacher but ignored it for 40 years!! HFCS is a processed food that the body absorbs almost twice as fast as regular sugar. This means it raises blood sugar, higher and faster, than almost any other sweetener and is making our nation fatter because it is hidden in so many things. Skip it and make it yourself -- for your health!!
