    Hi,

    Can we store in refrigerator in a glass jar? If yes, how many weeks? Want to make and store for 2-3 times use.

      Hi Jessy,

      You can certainly keep it in the fridge for a month or two. But, the sugar will crystalise. All you need to do is to run the glass jar under some lukewarm water at first so that the jar doesn't crack. Then either give it a quick blast in the microwave or place it in a saucepan of hot water and simmer until the sugar crystals dissolve.

      We love it on icecream in the summer at our place, so it rarely lasts very long 😉.

      Cheers
      Anastasia
