Questions & Replies

What can I substitute for cream of tartar if I don't have any? -
What's the purpose of the cream of tartar? Is it simply for flavoring or does it's help the candy to harden? -
If you want to include a flavoring, when would you add it?

This recipe in fact works well. I tweaked mine a bit, 2 cups of sugar, 1/4 cup water, 1tsp cream of tartar, 1 dram of lorianns flavoring and food coloring. Perfect mix and no corn syrup! Save $$$

I found this to be a really good recipe. I would tweak it by leaving it in the hard crack stage for at least a minute and adding coloring and flavor after you take it off the heat.

This is a recipe for corn syrup. Anything over 240 F is just burnt goo. -
Its supposed to be 2/3 cups of water. Not two cups. Nice fake reviews though.
