Use it*
*unless it is furry or fizzing.0 -
It'll be fine. Even if it looks a bit "gritty", it'll still be fine once cooked. That stuff can survive nuclear wars.0

It never goes out of date, but it can grow mould (fur) or ferment (fizz). So fur or fizz, chuck it, otherwise it'll be fine.I'm an adult and I can eat whatever I want whenever I want and I wish someone would take this power from me.

What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

If it's never been opened then it'll be fine - it's pure sugar so unlikely to kill you, and you're cooking it for so long that anything will probably expire anyway. I read the other day that some scientists ate a 46 year-old Christmas pudding so treacle that's three years out of date is positively juvenile compared to that.0

If it hasn't exploded (fermentation - build up of pressure - flying lid and mess) you are probably fine.But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.

I just used some that had a date of some time in 2010 and it was fine. Mind you we only just finished the huge batches of marmalade that I made in 2000 when my dad had his heart bypass ( had to do something whilst waiting for mum to phone).“the princess jumped from the tower & she learned that she could fly all along. she never needed those wings.”
