I found this jar of maple syrup that somebody gave me as a present years ago, maybe 10 years ago, not really sure. I can't find a manufacture date or a best before date.
Do any of you guys know wether maple syrup turns bad with time?
it's made by black sheep sugar house, and the jar is sealed.
While we are at it, you might tell me wether this is good maple syrup or not... is there a lot of difference with different brands?

I have had syrup that was in an opened container and lasted (refrigerated) for a number of years.

|  | Yeah, I've got the moves like Jagger. | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: G.R. MI | | | If the lid is still vacuumed down to the jar you're fine. Sugar crystals may form over time, but the true test is taste and smell. If it smells good, taste it, if it tastes good eat it! (I think that method works for a lot of thing actually.)

If it smells bad = no eat, otherwise it'll be good. |

I'm not an expert but my Grandfather ran the maple syrup racket in North Branford, CT for decades. Its now managed by cousin, Dudley (and Vicki) Harrison. I've got a gallon of their syrup next to the computer and it reads:
"If any mold should form on top, reheat syrup and skim the top. It is harmless and will not affect the pure, sweet taste."
Hope that helps. If you need addt'l guidance, contact me for Dud's phone # or you may contact the Maple Syrup Producers Association of Connecticut, Inc.

back here we have something that's supposed to be similar, called Kero, (edit, just googled it, apparently kero is made up of glucose and corn syrup?) but it doesn't taste half as good. Maple syrup is not common at all. we have our pancakes with "dulce de leche" (milk jam... sort of similar to caramel...)
Thanks for the enlightenment regarding canadian culture as well!

The good news is its a fairly quick death, so your good! |
