Here we have an example where Joseph Smith replaced a that-clause with an infinitive clause but without the infinitival to (from “that thy food shall become sweet” to “thy food become sweet”). The original construction is apparently the only case in the earliest text where the verb make is immediately followed by a that-clause. Its exceptionality apparently led Joseph to alter the that- clause. Nonetheless, the original text here in 1 Nephi 17:12 is perfectly understandable and will be restored in the critical text. (For an example of a similar kind of editing but with the verb cause, see 1 Nephi 17:46.)
In the text there are four examples similar to 1 Nephi 17:12. For these examples, however, there is an intervening direct object between the verb make and the following that-clause. In addition, the following that-clause contains a subject pronominal form of the preceding object:
On the other hand, there are also four examples in the original text that have the same construction as Joseph Smith’s editing in 1 Nephi 17:12:
Summary: Restore in 1 Nephi 17:12 the original construction “I will make that thy food shall become sweet”; related phraseology (but with a supporting direct object) can be found elsewhere in the text, as in Ether 12:23 (“for thou hast made all this people that they could speak much”).
