Method (preview)

1. 1

   Corn starch processed with acids or enzymes, produces a syrupy liquid. Light corn syrup is further treated to remove any color. Light corn syrup is very sweet, but does not have much flavor. Dark corn syrup has coloring and flavoring added to make it caramel-like.

2. 2

   Corn syrup is a dense LIQUID SWEETENER that's popular in America, but hard to find in some other countries. The most common brand, by far, in the States is "Karo Syrup". "Lyle's Golden Syrup", a British product that may be more available in other countries, is made from sugar cane but is otherwise a direct substitute for corn syrup in virtually any recipe.
