Looking for 'Light' Corn Syrup

[anglin]

Does anyone know where I can buy light corn syrup? I'm not exactly sure what the 'light' means - but at the very least it needs to be light in colour. I made a glaze using regular corn syrup (the stuff sold in all grocery stores) and the glaze came out grey.

Thanks!

If anyone's interested in getting away from corn-based products, I've successfully used organic brown rice syrup in recipes calling for corn syrup.

i picked up the crown white stuff @ longos. i think it may have been about $5?

Thanks for the suggestions! My local Loblaws doesn't carry the clear corn syrup, but I have now seen it at the superstores and at longos. Odysseues - great suggestion to try the pure glucose. I might give that a try too.

I saw the Crown brand at loblaws superstore in whitby today, maybe all of them have it? not sure but give it a try, they had a whole variety from light to golden..etc

you can get pure glucose (aka dextrose) powder from wine making shops- add water.

All the grocery store "corn syrups" are basically glucose plus water but they all have additives (color, vanilla, various flavours) - the pure dextrose should give you a better shot at getting an uncoloured glaze.

It's the clear stuff sold by Crown as "Lily White" corn syrup. http://www.achfood.ca/crown_home.htm
