Dates additive to rocket fuel


 In America used corn syrup as an additives to sugar propellant ,I never seen or used  corn syrup before, it is a bit mysterioss to me.
I tried pure bee honey added to kno3 and sugar, it resists crystallizing and rocket fly stable also remains flexible even after a month.
The ratio
Sugar 200 grams –kno3 400 grams – honey 1 tea spoon
In my country we make molasses out of dates it is a desert fruit and cheap in my country ,I have tried it as an additives to sugar propellant ,I have a  good results .
The ratio
