Ingredients

How to make it

  • 1. Combine water, sugar, salt, and cream of tartar in a 1-quart non-reactive pot. Stir a bit to combine.
  • 2. Place over medium heat and stir with a whisk until bubbling hard around the edges, about 5 minutes.
  • 3. Get your candy thermometer into the mixture and cook the syrup until it registers 235°F (112 C), about 8 minutes.
  • 4. Immediately stir in the baking soda (the syrup will bubble vigorously), followed by the remaining ¼ cup of water.
  • 5. Continue cooking until the syrup returns to 235°F (112 C), about 2 minutes longer.
  • 6. Pour into a Pyrex measuring cup to halt cooking, then stir in butter and vanilla. Cool to a safe eating temperature and serve.
  • 7. Cover leftovers as soon as possible to prevent syrup from forming a skin. Refrigerate up to 3 months in an airtight container. I never refrigerate this and it lasts at least a month in the pantry.
