Corn syrup from scratch! Did you know you can make your own?

I sometime am surprised how many items in your kitchen we buy but can be made. Corn syrup is so easy to make. It is a fraction of the cost and it actually tastes better.
Corn syrup
2 cups water
5 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
Pinch salt
Put all ingredients into a pan over high heat. Stir until the sugar is wet. Place a candy thermometer on the side of your pan. Use a little water on a basting brush to rim the pan and not get sugar crystals while it starts to boil. Once it boils you can stop this step. Do not stir the mix after the initial stirring or this can cause crystals. Boil the mix over high until it reached 240 degrees. Set the pan to the side and let it cool completely. . Once it has cooled pour the mix into a jar or other airtight container.
The mix with thicken and if it gets too thick just microwave it a little before use. You use it the same as you would commercial corn syrup in your recipe.
Store in the cabinet up to 6 months.
