keep going - it may just be the sugar breaking down!.
I made them before and thought it looked amber or a bit darker but mine were white as snow!.
Did you use a heavy pot!? if not it may have scalded the sugar!.
I use a heavy enameled cast iron pot!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm no expert but I'm sure the end product will be no whiter than what you have now!. It's not like gelatin or egg is going to bleach it!. Maybe this is the reason it says high, so that doesn't happen!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
