Corn syrup
Description
Corn syrup is very similar in consistency to honey or molasses. Lately, I've been encountering corn syrup in recipes for various dishes quite often. However, it can be quite difficult to find this syrup in stores. So why don't we prepare corn syrup at home during summer and use it later when cooking delicious homemade dishes? Making corn syrup at home is fairly easy, although it does take quite a bit of time. But that's no problem—our pies, buns, and homemade sweets will stay fresh and soft for a long time, without becoming stale or crystallizing, because corn syrup prevents these processes. So, let's read the recipe for making corn syrup and get started. Good luck!

Step 1
We clean and cut the corn cobs. Pour water over them and set to boil for about an hour and a half. You can chop the corn very finely, but then you'll most likely have to discard it. Therefore, cut it so that the water completely covers all the corn.

Step 2
By the time the corn is cooked, about half of the water will have evaporated. Strain the corn broth and add sugar, lemon juice, and salt to it. Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the amount of syrup is reduced by half. This process may take about 2 hours.
