I've not made it, nor do I think I have any info specifically on  
canning it but perhaps these Florilegium files might be of use:

Although I'm not sure why you are wanting to can it. Often the reason  
to make a syrup in the first place is the preserve something. The  
high sugar content tends to kill the bad beasties, which is why the  
Sekanjabin and similar sugar syrups can be kept almost indefinitely,  
as syrups.
