Guest guest Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I got some local maple syrup, and now I'm not sure how to handle it so some will still be good at this time next year. The Amish farmer I bought it from said that after a while it will develop mold on the top, but you can scrap it off, and the rest is fine. However, I found a Mother Earth News article (http://www.motherearthnews.com/arc/5926/) that said maple syrup can go bad, and you need to preserve it by canning or freezing. (Or filling your jars with the really hot syrup.) I brought my own jars to the farm and they were filled with cooled syrup. I don't have a problem with scraping mold off and eating it anyway, as long as it's not toxic and the flavor hasn't changed. Any suggestions? Should I boil it down some more and make maple sugar? (recipe anyone?) Can I do that in my kitchen without turning it into a sticky mess? Has anyone out there frozen maple syrup? My dh already teases that I'll freeze anything - I'd never hear the end of frozen maple syrup... Thanks! Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
