Boil without stirring until thermometer registers 220°F, occasionally swirling pan and brushing down sides with wet pastry brush, about 12 minutes (time will vary depending on size of pan). Strain syrup into medium bowl. Cool to room temperature. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm before serving.)
