Sure. We've done it with lots more syrup than that, BUT find a way to keep it cool and don't procrastinate at the end of the season. We left some of ours too long
and had to toss it.

When you say keep it cool, can it be frozen in smaller containers then all thawed out and finished?

We put ours in a freezer chest in 5 gallon pails. Set the temp to maximum, ie barely freezing for water, not freezing syrup. I don't know what tem syrup will freeze at but its way below the freezing point of water. I think I saw the termometer inside drop to 15F and it was still not frozen.
