Brittany Lee says
How long will this keep jn the fridge do you think? IF it’ll last that long in my house! 😉
lyuba says
Hi Brittany! I would say that it will be good for 10-14 days. But this had a good amount of sugar in it and make with bottled juice, so it should be just fine. Keep it in the air-tight container too.
Enjoy!

I cooked this tonight, whisking constantly for 15 minutes, about minute 10 it got thick but I continued. The first time I thought it was because I used half POM Wonderful and apple juice from concentrate. I tried it the second time with the full amount of POM and it was still extremely thick. Almost like candy. Did I maybe cook it for too long?
lyuba says
Hmmm, did you remember to turn the heat back to medium after you brought it to boil? If not, the liqiud may have cooked out. If you did, try adding only one tsp of cornstarch and then add another one if it seems too thin (if adding a second one, dissolve it with a little bit of cold juice first).
Denise D Pryor says
Can you can this syrup in a hot bath?
lyuba says
Hi Denise!
I don’t do any canning so I don’t want o steer you the wrong way. What I remember is that everything had to be boiled, including can, and lids. It had to be properly sealed as well.
I would read about proper canning before trying it for sure.
I’m sorry that I wasn’t much help, I just don’t want to suggest something incorrect to you.
