How long can homemade strawberry syrup last? ›

Homemade strawberry syrup, stored in a glass jar, will last up to 1 month in the refrigerator. If you want to keep it longer, you can process it in canning jars in a water bath; the process time is 15 minutes. Kept in a cool, dark place, canned syrup will last up to a year.

According to Camper English of Alcademics, the shelf life of simple syrup can be lengthened two ways: upping the ratio of sugar to water, or adding neutral spirit. The difference is surprising. Simple syrup (1:1 ratio of sugar to water) will only stay good for about a month.

Simple Syrup

Liquid for liquid is always better. Add equal parts sugar and water to a saucepan. Heat over medium and stir, making sure all sugar gets dissolved, then let cool. It's as "simple" as that.

If the syrup doesn't thicken to your liking, mix 2 teaspoons of cornstarch with ¼ cup water and stir it into the syrup and simmer another 5 minutes or so until thickened.

It can be expected to last for about six months in the fridge. Of course, no recipe or storage method is perfect, and you should still keep an eye out for signs of spoilage whenever you are enjoying your fruit syrup to keep yourself from ingesting anything unpleasant or dangerous to your health.

Maple syrup is resistant to spoiling because of the high sugar content. It will last indefinitely if stored properly. Problems can occur though. You may see a build-up of crystals on the bottom of the bottle, or you may find a layer of mold on the top.

Unflavored syrup can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a month. However, flavored syrups (especially fruit-flavored) should be used within 2 weeks of when they're made. I usually keep mine in a mason jar but any airtight container with a good lid will work great.

What's the difference between strawberry jam and strawberry syrup? ›

Jam is made from mashed fruit. Jelly is made from just the juice of the fruit. Sauce is made from mashed fruit but uses less pectin than jam and is less jelled. Syrup is made from either mashed fruit or just the juice of the fruit, but uses even less pectin than sauce so it is slightly jelled and pourable.

Alcohol can help preserve the mixture and extend its shelf life. Add a neutral spirit, like vodka, to bring your syrup's alcohol-by-volume (abv) up to about 15% to create a syrup that will last at least a few months. This equates to 5 fluid ounces, or a little more than ½ cup of alcohol, for one quart of syrup.

So the answer is the length of time spent heating the sugar and water solution, which makes the syrup. To prevent the crystals from forming you need to prolong the heating or cooking time. Instead of just bringing the sugar and water to a boil you need to simmer it covered for 10 minutes.

The rule of thumb is a Shelf Stable syrup is 2 Parts Sugar : 1 Part Water. It's more sugary, but it takes on more or the flavour that you're trying to infuse.
