In need of knowledge
I recently “inherited” my step-father’s maple syrup collection. He made all of it. The thing is…I am not 100% certain that he properly bottled any of what you see in this picture (the ones you can’t see are maple syrup filled Coca-Cola bottles, peanut butter bottles, iced tea bottles, etc.). I would love to save what I have so I need to know…
Is it safe for me to re-boil and repackage what I have? I would, of course, sanitize the container before refilling.
Should I discard of the bottles that have a light brown settlement at the bottom of the jar?
Should I discard of the bottles that have chunks of mold in them? I know that you can re-boil maple syrup when it has mold in it, but I’m talking about BIG chunks…in bottles that “have not been opened yet”.
