We tend to go through it pretty fast so it's not really a problem though you can always reheat it to dissolve the crystals. It doesn't need to be refrigerated though I find if it is it is slower to crystallize.Scribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178711182424809035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-56891329698923738252009-03-02T10:57:00.000-09:002009-03-02T10:57:00.000-09:00How do you store the left over syrup?

I've been using this same recipe for years & love it - soooo cheap & tastes far superior. <BR/>I made a fabuloud discovery a couple of months ago - in the middle of making the syrup I found I had run out of maple flavoring. I scrambled for an alternative & ended up throwing in a cinnamon stick with a smidge of vanilla & ZOWIE it was good!AlaneMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16378820581781820649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-25589830018201245202009-01-28T14:04:00.000-09:002009-01-28T14:04:00.000-09:00My mom used to do this.

Probably as vast as the difference in cost between your recipe and purchasing actual maple syrup in Alaska, though, so all of you outside of the Maple Syrup Belt really can't be blamed for making it.<BR/><BR/>As for me and my house?

Our recipe is so simple because I don't have to think at all :) Equal parts brown sugar, white sugar and water with a dash of mapeliene. If I'm feeling extravagant I throw in an equal part of corn syrup. <BR/><BR/>My kids are 13 and 14 and I've only recently put the syrup on the table. Kept the syrup next to the stove for me to put on when I handed them their plate.
