How to Make Light Syrup

  1. In a stainless steel saucepan, combine 4 cups of granulated sugar and 2 cups of water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup becomes clear.
  3. Reduce heat to low and maintain a gentle simmer. Do not boil vigorously, as this will cause the syrup to become too thick. Keep warm until ready to use for canning.
  4. Once cool, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
