Freezing Blueberry Syrup

I have a great recipe for Blueberry Syrup. What I need to know is 1. Can I freeze it and how? and 2. How long will it keep in my refrigerator? --Mary
Hi Mary, Yes, you can freeze blueberry syrup – and most syrups will keep in the fridge for up to a week.  You can easily freeze the syrup in a covered plastic container.  In addition, a favorite trick of mine is to freeze  syrup (and sauces, and stock) in ice cube trays. Then, once frozen, transfer the cubes to a heavy-duty zipper plastic bag. That way, you’ll have serving-size portions that you can defrost individually.

    Hello Betty, My wife is baking an old-fashioned butter cake which looks great. We live at elevation 4,600 feet in the forest of southern Oregon. What, if anything, needs to be done to this recipe for a high elevation? Thank you ahead of time, Betty.

    My Grandmother used to make the most wonderful really SOFT molasses cookies, but whenever I try to make them, they always turn out hard, only good for dunking in milk or coffee. Can you find a true recipe for soft ones? Thank you. --Bernice
