Instructions
Step 1: Dissolve Sugar in Water
Add 4 Cups water to a clean stainless steel sauce pot.
Add 4 Cups sugar (2 pounds) to the same sauce pot.
Bring a boil on Med-High.
Add water as needed until all sugar is dissolved.
Note: There is no need to reach a certain temperature, just ensure the sugar is fully dissolved.
Note: Adding water first helps prevent sugar from sticking to bottom of pot and prevents the need to stir the mixture with a spatula. Using a utensil increase risk of the sugar crystalizing.
Step 2: Add Water and Syrups
Add 1/4 Cup corn syrup.
Final mixture should be roughly 1 part water, 1 part sugar/syrup.
Step 3: Add Vanilla
Add 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract.
Step 4: Cool
Remove from heat.
Cover pot with tin foil.
Allow syrup to cool for at least 4 hours.
There should be no crystalized pieces in the liquid.
If a “crust” formed, reheat with additional water and additional corn syrup.
Step 5: Bottle
Pour syrup into bottles.
