Can I save the simple sugar left over from making the candied orange peel recipe on F52 (I included the suggested vanilla bean).

Question

LeBec F. · Answer

I know there are always variables, but in the back of my frig I have syrup from last yr, and it hasn't gone mouldy.(Boy, when you candy a whole box of clementine peel, you end up with a lot of syrup!! Maybe I should gift it to a fav bartender?!)

boulangere · Answer

By all means. The flavor should be lovely.  Nothing lasts forever, though; it will eventually mold in the refrigerator, so plan to use it up within a couple of weeks.

Bill F. · Answer

I always do. And my wife make delicious cocktails with it. Orange simple syrup goes a long way.

LeBec F. · Answer

Keep in the frig or frzr; i have had it go moldy at room temp.Can also be used in tea, coffee, hot choc, and for brushing on cakes before frosting; or for making another batch of candied citrus peel.

AnnaBell · Answer

I always save it. It's great in cocktails in place of plain simple syrup.

HalfPint · Answer

I would.  Nothing raw (like egg whites) was used.  It would be such a waste of sugar that can be used in other things.
