[Sca-cooks] Simple Syrup Question

[Carol Smith]

Please discard it; it's probably mold.  

 

Simple syrup is not really preserved; it doesn't have enough sugar.  Try 60:40 sugar to water for better preservation.

I make cordials and use a home made simple syrup and I made some about 3 months ago, went to use it and it has "stuff" in it - stuff meaning not floaters like dirt, but like a "film" floating throughout. I sterilize my bottles, etc and I have never seen this before...I was wondering, should I just dump it out? or can it be re-heated and main question is - any ideas as to what happened? I have been making it for years and never seen this before....
