I'm making a maple pecan tart (Bon Appetit Nov 2007) that calls for 1/2 c. maple syrup and 1/2 c. dark corn syrup. I am thinking of using LIGHT corn syrup instead becuase that's what I have on hand. Two questions: 1) Flavorwise do you think substituing light for dark corn syrup will radically alter the flavor, and (a related question): 2) The main flavor of the tart is supposed to be maple, yet some reviewers of the recipe commented that they thought the maple flavor was too subtle or nearly undetectable.
Below, Aragon outlines seven food types and how long you can trust themâeven after an expiration date says theyâre bad. Canned goods: Most expiration dates on foods in cans range from 1 to 4 yearsâbut keep the food in a cool, dark place and the cans undented and in good condition, and you can likely safely double that shelf life from 3 to up to 6 years. Frozen foods: Theyâre much like canned goods
The general rule of thumb is that canned food has a shelf life of at least two years from the date of purchase. It is recommended that all canned food be stored in moderate temperatures (75Â° F and below). Many canned products now have a for best quality use by date stamped on the top or bottom of the can. Expiration dates are rarely found on canned food. Canned food has a shelf life of at least two years from the date of processing. Canned food retains its safety and nutritional value well beyond two years, but it may have some variation in quality, such as a change of color and texture. Canning is a high-heat process that renders the food commercially sterile.
