Last seasons cream.

[Pibster]

I have a Tupperware container full of maple cream in the refrigerator. I made it last April but it turned out grainy, so I left it with the plan to add more syrup and re-boil and stir to the correct consistency. Well here we are almost a year later and I never got around to re-processing it. Since it's been in a sealed container in the fridge, could it possibly still be usable? Cream is so much work, I hate to dump it out.

Cream has a short shelf lift, but it can be re-processed. Mix it into a new batch and try again.

My experience with cream if you didn't let it cool to room temp before stirring is the reason for the grainy texture.
The good thing with syrup ,you can make a number of confections.syrup-cream,cream -molded sugar,or molded sugar to granulated sugar..It never goes to waste..

Take it to 244 and make candy. Take to 260 and make crumb.

That's good to know. I think I will boil some new syrup and throw in the old cream in the pot and try again. Thanks.
