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.
