How do you remove mold on maple syrup?
Mold on maple syrup is a very common and easily fixed problem.
Syrup will mold no matter how you store it - freezing and
refrigerating will postpone it but you might find mold anyway.
First, skim as much mold off the top of the syrup as you
can.
then, pour the syrup into a saucepan and slowly bring to *just*
a boil. turn it off and let it cool without disturbing it for a few
minutes, then skim the surface again.
you can repeat this if there is a lot of mold floating around,
or if the surface mold got mixed into the syrup. Just remember to
let it cool and then heat slowly WITHOUT STIRRING. and dont let it
boil, that will thicken it up and make it prone to crystallizing
(you'll get maple sugar instead of maple syrup)
Sterilize the container the syrup was originally in and pour the
cooled syrup back in.
