How do you pasteurize syrup?

Ingredients:

- Sugar

- Water

- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar per quart of syrup

Instructions:

1.) Combine the sugar and water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

2.) Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved.

3.) Add cream of tartar.

4.) Bring the syrup to a boil again, then immediately remove from heat.

5.) Let the syrup cool for a few minutes, then transfer it to a clean glass jar.

6.) Seal the jar with a lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

- To make a flavored syrup, add 1/2 cup of your favorite fruit puree, juice, or extract to the syrup before bringing it to a boil.

- You can also add spices like cinnamon or vanilla bean to the syrup for extra flavor.

- If you don't have cream of tartar, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar per quart of syrup.
