What is corn syrup?
Corn Syrup is a thick, sweet syrup created by processing cornstarch with acids or enzymes. It comes in light or dark forms. Light corn syrup has been clarified to remove all color and cloudiness. Dark corn syrup, because it has caramel favor and coloring added to it, has a deeper color and a stronger flavor. Corn syrup is particularly popular as an ingredient in frostings, candies, jams and jellies because it inhibits crystallization. It’s also used as a pancake syrup.
