Pure maple syrup should be kept in a cool, dark place for up to two years until opened and then refrigerated after opening where it will last one year. If excess water is present or if containers are not clean when filled, there may be the growth of bacteria, yeast or mold during storage.
Cool and store in a sealed container at room temperature. It should keep for up to two months. Alternatively, add granulated or brown sugar to a recipe that calls for corn syrup, cup for cup, then increase the amount of liquids used in the recipe by 1/4 of the amount of sugar added. Honey is one of the best substitutions for corn syrup because it is also hygroscopic.
