Do you put maple syrup in the fridge after you open it?!


Question: Do you put maple syrup in the fridge after you open it?
As a kid we always left our maple syrup (or imitation for pancakes) in the fridge after it was opened. I don't know why though because it doesn't need to be refrigerated. When my husband and I first got together he laughed at me for putting it in the fridge and asked me why I had to chill it if it was going on something hot. I realized he had a point and I started leaving it in the cupboard but I still want to put it in the fridge sometimes out of habit. Does anyone else keep their syrup in the fridge or is it just my crazy family?

Answers:

won't ants get to it in the cupboard? open maple syrup in the fridge all the way



The sins of the fathers are also applicable to mothers. Your family did it that way and others another. Never assume you know how your neighbours live! We keep it outside the fridge. It becomes to stickily when cold, at room temperature it is much more 'runny'. The same way why mom cut the small piece of bone, off at the end of a leg of pork. Great grandmas pan was just too short and the bigger pan did not fit into her oven. ...........and 4 generations had the same habit.
Peace.



haha no thats perfectly fine by me i keep mine in the fridge thats just what my family has always done. I think it tastes better cold idk why but thats my opinion

Haha just by 2 bottles of syrup when u get it lol one for ur husband to keep in the cupboard and one for u in the fridge, haha im jk but i hope this helps



It doesn't need to go in the fridge. Im 15 and my mom still puts it in the fridge but the syrup that gets on the rim from the last u poured it gets frozen solid so the lid Is a b**** to get off. Just a waste of space in the fridge in my opinion :)



I think as long as your cabinets are clean and pest free; and you don't live in moist humid environment. That it should be OK to not refrigerate it. Also make sure the container is sealed up well.



I refrigerate real maple syrup because if you let it sit in the cupboard too long it molds. Ordinary pancake syrup (fake maple syrup) doesn't mold so it can be left out.



I personally don`t like to because it thickens the syrup to me
I just like mine to flow freely over my pancakes

My friend does Idk y though
But I dont



No lol... But My grandma does... I actually like it cause then it's like the hot crunchy waffles with the cold syrup! Soo good lol



Yes, unless you plan to use it quite soon. It can mold.



I do...I don't know why but I do it too.
