Plain Fondant

4 cups granulated sugar 1 cup Karo, Red Label 1 cup boiling water 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar Combine the ingredients. Stir until dissolved and heat to boiling point. Boil without stirring until a little, when tried in cold water, forms a soft ball, 238 degrees F. Pour onto a large platter slightly oiled with Mazola; cool until luke warm. Beat with a spoon or whisk, until creamy, then knead with the hands so it will not crumble. Put into a bowl lightly oiled with Mazola, cover and do not use for twenty-four hours. Then divide into portions, flavor, stand the bowl in warm water, color if desired, and use in making bonbons, etc. As this fondant contains Karo, it will not become grainy.
