But can table sugar be made from the glucose and fructose in HFCS?

I suppose. I don't see what the motive would be. HFCS have advantages over sucrose. Sucrose is already available without having to derive it from HFCS.

I can turn dissolved sugar back to crystalline sugar.

The term 'sugar' generally refers to sucrose. Crystalline sugar is sucrose.

If the two are the same, why not? If they can be made, how so?

If one were to make sucrose from HFCS, it would still be sucrose, and still have the same chemical composition.

Tell me how I can make sucrose (crystalline table sugar) which comprises of glucose and fructose, starting with HFCS (again comprising of glucose and fructose). If they are both glucose and fructose in solution, this should be simple, right? Tell me the steps to follow.
