<<< I made some sekanjabin and some syrup of lemons today for
Pennsic, and when
I took them downstairs to the fridge, I discovered that we still have
a lot of
sekanjabin syrup from last year. It's perfectly clear and smells
completely normal, but my husband is worried that it might not be
any good. I seem to
remember that sugar syrups are pretty stable and don't really even
need to
be stored in the fridge, but will last for a long time. Anybody
have any
ideas how long this stuff will last? >>>
Years if the syrup has enough sugar in it. This discussion has come
up here periodically. There are first hand accounts in this file of
five years or more of storing (and forgetting about) some sekanjabin
and it still being good.
