Hi,
If it looks ok, & no sign of any mould, and it tastes ok, I would use it myself. I did the same with some out of date candied fruit last year as it's expensive to buy those whole pieces, and the cake came out fine. I used to really abide by the given dates, but on dried goods, I now tend to think that if I can't see or smell a problem, I'll use it.2025's challenges: 1) To fill our 10 Savings Pots to their healthiest level ever
