That would be the trouble, then. You see, when it says, "cook it down
until it takes the consistency of a syrup", you need to boil the stuff
until it thickens, which usually happens when at least 1/4 of the liquid
has boiled away. If you only heated it until it was steaming, rather than
cooking it down, that would be why the proportion of sugar to liquid
wasn't high enough.
