What is the shelf life of my syrup?
This is a continuation of my last question.
the recipe I have is:
2 1/2 cups water
2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 moist vanilla bean, preferably Mexican or Bourbon (Madagascar)Combine the sugars and water in a saucepan.
Boil for at least 10 minutes.
Let cool. When solution has cooled, add the extract and stir well.
After I make my syrup, how long of a shelf life does it have? Do I need to refrigerate it, or can I keep it on my countertop?

As you can see, maple syrup can go bad, but it's a very rare occurrence. In most cases if it's stored properly, it will be edible even after a couple of years. The only thing that you can't be sure of is its taste \u2013 it might not be as great after those 3 or 5 years of storing, but it's definitely edible.How Long Does Simple Syrup Last?
