Corn syrup is a popular sweetening ingredient in baked goods, candy, frostings, jams, jellies, etc. Corn syrup can be used to make cookies, rice crispies, caramel snack mixes, nutritional bars, ice creams and sorbets. It is a common ingredient for chocolates, fudges, cakes and biscuits.
What is the purpose of corn syrup in baking?
Corn syrup is often added to fudge recipes to keep them from getting grainy, again by inhibiting the formation of large sugar crystals. That’s also the reason it’s sometimes added to cookie glazes: smaller crystals mean the frosting is shinier when it dries.
Do you put corn syrup in the fridge?
Corn Syrup storage is very easy. It can be stored at room temperature and away from sunlight. This means that any typical kitchen setting is suitable. There is no need to refrigerate corn syrup after it is opened.
