I just found a 10 oz jar of (homemade)syrup in the back of my fridge -- it has a faded, handwritten label on it that says "Feb 19, 2005."
Does it go bad?
What's the deal?

As long as the seal isn't broken it will not spoil. After many years it will be sort of flat tasting, at least that's the experience I had with some syrup that we found in my grandmother's pantry when she passed away in 1994. The syrup had been made by my father and uncle in 1948 and a few small glass containers had never been opened, so we opened one and the only thing about it was that if was somewhat flat tasting.

If it's stored in a freezer it will last forever, it will not freeze hard so it won't damage it's container. Cool and dark storage is a good thing !
If it were easy , everyone would be doing it !!!
