Hi all,,

I am looking for a recipe for poured fondant and found one on the recipe board but it has cornsyrup in it.. Does any one know of a recipe without cornsyrup becasue i dont think i have the right thing..

Here in nz finding cornsyrup was hard work! i went to several shops and finally found someone who sold me this brown goey looking stuff, the writing on the jar was forein so i have no idea if its the right stuff.. is it supposed to be brown? this is the only one i can find.. will that work?

thank you muchly! icon_smile.gif

I haven't found any, sorry. Is there a substitute for corn syrup?

I found a substitute recipe for corn syrup; here you go:

LIGHT CORN SYRUP SUBSTITUTE  

2 c. white sugar
3/4 c. water
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
Dash of salt

Combine all ingredients in a heavy, large pan. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and put cover on it for 3 minutes to get sugar crystals off the sides of the pan. Uncover and cook until it reaches soft ball stage. Stir often.

Cool syrup and store in a covered container at room temperature. It will keep for about 2 months. Makes almost 2 cups.

I have only bought the light corn syrup, but I see that Nick has given you a recipe, that should work just fine.
