I made about ten 8oz jars full of maple cream with the first syrup off the evaporator this season. I made the cream within a few days from the time I took it off the evaporator. It turned out pretty well. I stored the containers in glass in the freezer. I don't sell it (yet) and don't use it as a spread or to cook with. I keep one container in the fridge at all times and spoon about two teaspoons in my mouth every time I walk by. Today I found my container in the fridge to be empty (Angela) so I took one (last one) out of the freezer and put it in the microwave for about ten seconds to soften it. Now it is super lumpy. It has a consistency that is very unappealing while the taste is normal. What did the microwave do? Is this an isolated incident or has someone else had this happen?
