Expiration & Storage Tips
When does strawberry syrup expire?
An unopened bottle of store-bought strawberry syrup generally remains in top-notch condition until the labeled expiration date, which is typically around 18-24 months from production. Once you open the bottle, things change slightly. If you refrigerate it after each use, you can expect the syrup to stay fresh for about six months. In case you're a DIY enthusiast and have created a homemade version of strawberry syrup, it will last around two weeks if properly stored in the fridge. If you decide to freeze the syrup, it can last indefinitely, but for the best quality, it's advisable to consume within a year.
How do you tell if strawberry syrup is bad?
Over time, strawberry syrup may lose its vibrant red color and fresh fruity flavor, signifying that it's past its prime. A change in consistency, such as unusual thickness or thinness, can also indicate spoilage. The growth of mold, a sour or off-putting smell, or a change in taste can all mean that the syrup has gone bad and should not be consumed. These signs are usually more noticeable in homemade syrup than store-bought varieties, which have added preservatives to prolong shelf life. Always remember, when in doubt, throw it out!
Tips for storing strawberry syrup to extend shelf life
• Always store opened strawberry syrup in the refrigerator. The cool temperature helps slow down the growth of microbes, preserving the flavor and quality for longer. • Before putting the lid back on, wipe the mouth and neck of the bottle to remove any syrup residue. This prevents mold from forming. • Store syrup in a dark place away from direct sunlight, as light can cause the color to fade and may also affect the taste. • If you plan to make a big batch of homemade strawberry syrup, consider dividing it into smaller containers and freezing it. That way, you can defrost just the amount you need when you need it. • When defrosting frozen syrup, move it to the fridge and let it thaw naturally. Avoid using microwaves or hot water as sudden temperature changes can affect the quality of the syrup.
