Canning herbal syrups #869154

Asked May 19, 2024, 7:00 PM EDT

How can I safely can an herbal syrup? For example Rosemary simple syrup? Can I water bath? Do I need to pressure can? Syrups are high sugar, but the herb is low acid. Thank you for your help.

There are not any research based recipes for canning
infused simple syrups. If you want to do this, you would need to refrigerate the syrup for storage, only keeping for a couple of weeks, or make fresh.
