How long maple syrup last?

better off buying a smaller container. It keeps longer in glass, but a BIG
plastic container is probably just wasting money for one.

Maple syrup is much more expensive to buy in small containers. It is more
economical to buy it in in a large quantity and then put it up in preserving
jars for later use.

Nah. I bought one of the plastic jugs and used it pretty sparingly. I
don't make pancakes or French toast all that often, although I did use
it on oatmeal sometimes. The syrup kept fine in the refrigerator for a
long time until I used it up. Near the end, it did crystalize some (you
could hear a lump rattling around) but that's not a big deal.

THANK YOU! for letting me clarify:

So you really feel the organic brand is that much
better?

Real maple syrup is by definition pretty organic, after all it's simply
boiled tree sap.

As I said before, if anyone is interested, google on rfc the brand I
mentioned in my post and you will get the information the poster gave
regarding this brand. I believe this is pretty much the same sort of
conversation that we are having now, but this poster I am speaking of gave a
more in depth posting regarding maple syrup than I can.

Here's something close of which I speak:

http://groups.google.com/group/OrganicLife/browse_frm/thread/ea6ceed31a06ca3e/266a74392d6cca02?lnk=st&q=syrup%2Bformaldehyde&rnum=3&hl=en#266a74392d6cca02

Maple syrup made from the sap of maple trees is up to 60 percent
sucrose. It is essential that consumers use certified organic maple
syrup because of the danger of chemical residues from forests sprayed
with pesticides. Additionally, many maple syrup producers use
formaldehyde pellets in the sap holes to prevent the holes from closing
and formaldehyde in holding tanks as a preservative. Chemical
anti-foaming agents may also be added to non-organic maple syrup.

I like real maple syrup on waffles in the AM

But that stuff is expensive.

Costco sells a BIG plastic container of real Maple
syrup but living alone it would take time for me to use
it all.

Bottom line.... will maple syrup keep say a year OK?
If yes should it be at room temp or kept in the fridge?

i have kept it in glass bottles for close to a year and it seems to
taste fine. but these are glass bottles, don't know about plastic.

My parents used to buy it by the gallon (usually several), divide it
amongst pint jars and pressure can it. They always said that maple
syrup could go sour once opened. I dunno.

I used to get it in (IIRC) 16 oz cans from a Quebec farm, case at a time.
Once opened after about 6 months you'd get candy forming in the can.
After about a yr open mold could develop.

I strongly suspect that this is more eco-nut delusions much like the
Teflon ones. I've seen a few maple syrup production facilities and can't
say I ever saw or heard of formaldehyde being used anywhere. At any rate
I get my maple syrup from one small place in CT since I've found it to
be superior to most everything else I've tried.

I would recommend only a small bowl of it. I could never handle eating
maple syrup like that. He would pour it into a fruit nappy and expect
me to eat it all. I think he like maple syrup a hell of a lot more
than I did.

Good idea
