Vacuum sealing jars of Simple Syrup
So I'm looking to make some simple syrups (lavender, basil, etc...). In looking around I see that making 1:1 syrups via the "hot" process it should safely last two weeks and up to a month.
If I were to get a vacuum sealer, would that preserve it longer? This would be a resealable system, not a one time seal process. If the vacuum sealer would be effective what product specifically would do so?
Preliminary I was looking at this one: http://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-T03-0023-01-Wide-Mouth-Jar-Sealer/dp/B00005TN7H
Perhaps there is something better or perhaps this is not meant for liquids.

sealing a jar just to reseal it is not practical and would not help preserve the longevity of these syrups and shrubs.

Can you vacuum seal a jar with liquid?
The answer is yes you can! Vacuum sealing a mason jar is an easy and quick way to meal prep, or preserve any fruits or vegetables from your garden. Please keep in mind that this is not a substitute for canning, and anything that is perishable will still need to be stored in the fridge or freezer.Can you vacuum seal glass jars?
By far the quickest way to seal liquids is to use a chamber vacuum seal machine. These commercial-grade machines have a chamber in which the entire bag is placed. Instead of sucking the air out, as an edge-style machine does, chamber vacuum sealers manipulate the air pressure within the chamber to evacuate the air.How to vacuum pack in glass jars
