Maple syrup
This is not really important, just curiosity. I was cleaning my fridge and as I removed the maple syrup I wondered if anybody could tell me why it should be kept in the fridge.

Re: Maple syrup
I didn't know that it should, but I once had a bottle of it going mouldy.
Mine's in the cupboard, or was, until it fell off the wall. I think it survived though. So it should be in the fridge?

Re: Maple syrup
Thank you. I knew someone would help. I shall continue to keep it in the fridge.
Re: Maple syrup
I'm still waiting till Lidl have it on special offer before I indulge myself in a new jarful.
Re: Maple syrup
Gosh, I've never kept ours in the fridge. We don't tend to use it terribly often either but I've not yet had one go off on me. Luck I suppose.

Re: Maple syrup
Goodness, I didn't know that either! When I was a child, a friend of my mother's emigrated to Canada and sent quite a large bottle by post as a special gift. As far as I know, we only ever used it on pancake day and we didn't have a fridge, it lasted for years. How lucky it didn't go mouldy!
Re: Maple syrup
mine doesn't live in the 'fridge either.
i inherited a large bottle of maple syrup when my mother died, it had obviously been sent by canadian cousins, maybe years before. we've been using it for nearly six years - and no mould.

Re: Maple syrup
I've always kept it in the fridge. It's so expensive I wouldn't want to waste any. I'd have guessed it wasn't vulnerable to going off any more than honey or sugar, maybe that's not the case though!
Re: Maple syrup
I was surprised too when mine went mouldy. I looked online though and it can happen.

This happened to my previous bottle too and it was kept in the fridge I assumed I had somehow contaminated it, but I simply scooped the mould off and continued using it up (very slowly) It never grew any more mould.
