Invert sugar syrup

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   What it is? Here, in fact, I’m telling you how to make invert sugar syrup at home. Let's prepare the products according to the list.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour water into a saucepan and heat it.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add sugar to hot water.

4. STEP 4

   

   Bring the syrup to a boil over low heat.

5. STEP 5

   

   Then add citric acid.

6. STEP 6

   

   Stir and cover tightly. Reduce the heat to low and leave to simmer for about forty minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   This is the syrup we will get in the allotted time. It’s easy to check if the syrup is ready. Drop a small amount of syrup onto a saucer, cool quickly and grab it with your thumb and forefinger. Quickly squeeze and unclench your fingers; if the syrup forms a so-called “thick thread” between them, then it can be removed from the heat.

8. STEP 8

   

   Let it cool by placing it in a cold place or placing the pan in a large cup of cold water.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour baking soda diluted in a small amount of water into the cooled syrup. The syrup will immediately begin to bubble and foam, this is not scary, you just need to wait until this process is completed.

10. STEP 10

    

    It will hiss a little and stop.

11. STEP 11

    

    After the fizzing has finished, the invert syrup can be considered ready. It will be similar in color and consistency to liquid honey. You can immediately pour it into jars and store it for future use until your next culinary recipe.

I prepared invert sugar syrup to use it in making lollipops. I made it according to the recipe, without deviating from the author’s recommendations. The syrup turned out thick, a beautiful amber color. It tastes like cockerels on a stick. Although it would be more accurate to say that the cockerels on a stick have the same taste as this syrup. Apparently, it can be stored for quite a long time. It sat in my refrigerator for at least a whole week, and there was no change in its consistency. It remained just as thick without the slightest sign of sugaring. Thank you very much for the recipe!
