OK to store corn sugar and water mixture?

[johnodon]

So, I was getting ready to bottle my latest batch. I boiled the water and corn sugar mixture and was letting it cool when...BAM...I tweaked my lower back.

It is OK to put the mixture into a sanitized canning jar for a few days when I am ready to bottle?

I suppose you could if you sanitize it, but why not just play it safe and boil some more when you're ready to bottle? It's not like sugar is super expensive.

BTW, I use plain table sugar when I bottle and have never had any off flavors from it.
