My mother used to say that if you don't stir it when you're boiling, it wont sugar as bad. I've never seen any difference, and last time we talked about it, she stirs it now just to expedite the process. If it sugars up, I usually put it in a pan of water on the stove (jar and all with the lid off) and simmer it slowly for a while. The sugar will redissolve. Not sure what the commercial stuff has in it to stop sugar forming - for that matter I'm not sure I WANT to know! Merry Christmas! Yep – It’ll do that over time refrigerated or not.

Not sure what the commercial stuff has in it to stop sugar forming – for that matter I’m not sure I WANT to know!

Merry Christmas!

I have a question...my syrup (like the first one) formed sugar crystals after a while, although I didn't stir or refrigerate it. Does that always happen over time? I wonder what the store-bought stuff has in it that prevents crystals. Cool!
