Is canning homemade syrup easy?

Answer by  YellowCup (1650)

It would depend on the type of syrup. Simple syrups from fresh fruits can be time consuming, but rather easy. Now maple syrup, you would have to go tap the tree and let it drain in bucket, which would take a lot of time and work.

It isn't hard and takes only 3 special ingredients (berries, lemon juice, sugar plus water) if you are talking about syrups made from fruit. However, you will need the regular canning supplies: jars,rings, lids and a canner, which is a big pot to sterilize the jars in after filling.

Using the standard water bath process, canning syrups and juices is not difficult. Home canned goods are safe as long as you follow the directions exactly. Check out the Blue Ball canning book at the library for easy step-by-step directions and recipies.
