Conversion syrup is a key ingredient in many baking and candy-making projects, and making it at home is easier than you might think! 🥰 Here’s how you can make your own conversion syrup with just a few simple steps.

First, gather your ingredients: white sugar, water, and cream of tartar or lemon juice. The cream of tartar helps prevent crystallization, which is crucial for achieving the right consistency. 🛠️

Begin by combining the sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat it over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once dissolved, stop stirring and let it simmer without interruption. This step is important to ensure even cooking. 💡

Add the cream of tartar or lemon juice once the mixture reaches a boil. Continue to cook without stirring until it reaches 235°F (113°C). Use a candy thermometer for accuracy. 🌡️

Finally, remove from heat and let it cool undisturbed. Your conversion syrup is now ready to use in your favorite recipes! 🎉 Store it in an airtight container for future use. Enjoy experimenting with this versatile ingredient! 🍬💖
