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
I have asked him about food expiration dates and this is what he says. Everything except honey has a shelf life. Expiration dates are also sell by dates that the grocery stores have to abide by. If properly stored, milk is good 5 days after the expiration date. Other items such as the Trader Joe's hummus you refer to have expiration dates on the very safe side of caution.
