Corn Syrup Substitute

I've tried several corn syrup substitute recipes and this one is my favorite.

Recipe:

2 C sugar
1 C water
1/8 tsp salt
½ tsp cream of tartar
1/8 tsp vanilla powder or 1/4 tsp vanilla

Mix all together in saucepan. Heat and stir on medium-high to boiling. Turn down to medium or lower and boil without stirring 10 minutes. Immediately pour in bowl (do not scrape pan) and let cool without disturbing. Put in covered container to store.
