Syrup for Fruit Sauce

This is a preservation recipe designed for long-term storage. Once properly bottled and sealed, the syrup can be stored for up to 1 year in a cool, dark place. The overnight maceration is essential and cannot be shortened.

Store sealed bottles upright in a cool, dark place (50-60°F ideal) for up to 12 months. Once opened, refrigerate and use within 2-3 months. If any bottle shows signs of fermentation (bubbling, bulging cork, off-odor), discard immediately.
