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
Just to give you a perspective of the shelf life, food scientists estimate that diet soda is good for up to 4 months past its shelf life expiry date, while soda with regular sugar content can safely be consumed up to 9 months after its listed expiration date.
