Product Information

If you mix enough sugar with water, you've found one of the cheapest and easiest ways to substitute for light corn syrup. According to Nutritional Outlook, tapioca syrup has the potential to be substituted for corn syrup in most recipes.

This buttery British staple is a refined version of sugar cane and has the same properties as corn syrup, meaning it won't seize at the high temperatures required for some candy recipes.They’re made from the starch of corn, which corn syrup producers can form into a sweet, concentrated solution due to its combination of sugars. However, keep in mind that using maple syrup instead of corn syrup may change the flavor and color of your final product. However if a large quantity of the syrup is used, such as for a pecan pie, you may find that the filling is a little more chewy when made with golden syrup.

In contrast, corn syrup is a sweetener derived from fresh corn picked and processed at its prime for flavor and sweetness. It works especially well when making candy or caramel and can be used in place of light corn syrup in a 1:1 ratio. Most simple syrup recipes will use equal parts water and sugar for a thin, sweet consistency used to mix cocktails, drizzle on cakes, or mix into coffee.Honey is comparable to corn syrup on the nutrient side (it contains about 64 calories and 17 grams of sugar per tablespoon). The American Heart Association recommends limiting intake of added sugars to no more than 100 calories per day (6 teaspoons of sugar) for women and 150 calories per day (9 teaspoons) for men. Unlike sugar, corn syrup can prevent crystallization while giving a smooth texture to cooked sweets and baked goods. Made of only sugar, water, cream of tartar, and lemon juice, this candy-like sauce cooks up to be super thick, full-bodied, and sweet just like corn syrup. It is an easy-to-mix natural sweetener that enhances the taste and texture of many foods, such as baked goods, caramel popcorn, candy, meat and vegetable toppings, fruit toppings.
