Guest guest Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hi Don, Well I added more Fig syrup along with water and more glycerine.. I had to add ALOT more.. hehehee.. I guess I know I had better watch out when working with Slippery elm.. I ended up having to adding 56 ozs of liquid and 16 ozs of glycerine to get it to thin out.. Now I'm looking forward to the out come.. I do hope it comes out good.. I ended up having to use a lot of water and hope it did not take away from the sweetness of the figs and prunes.. It made 5 quart jars.. I think I will have plenty to last... How long do you think it will keep? I know glycerine isn't suppose to last as long as alc. tinctures. I did write it all down so I will not have to go through this again and next time I will make a much smaller batch.. :-)) But it is always fun trying new recipes and learning in the process..
