I have five big bags of chocolate chips in my freezer to prove it. They are the ghosts of Christmases past when my plans exceed- ed my available time. Have I also mentioned the two containers of candied fruit that I picked up the year I knew I'd have all kinds of time to make fruitcake? They have to be at least 7 years old by now and curiously show absolutely no sign of becoming stale. Many supermarkets put baking supplies on sale starting about Thanksgiving and continuing through Christmas. Given the grim predictions that inflation will send food prices higher, you should con- sider stocking up now when the price is right. So, how long will this stuff last if you decide to buy enough for the year? It all depends on the item and whether you have the space to store it properly. • Baking soda. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place; good for two years unopened, six months opened. • Brown sugar. Store in freezer, and use within six months, opened or unopened. • Butter. Salted butter is good up to five months refrigerated. Unsalt- ed butter has a shorter shelf life, about three months in the refrigera- tor. Butter can be frozen for about six months. • Canned evaporated milk. Store unopened for up to six months. After this time, it will not turn sour, but it will turn yel- low and lose its fla- vor. • Chocolate chips. Store at room tempera- ture; 18-24 months unopened, one year if opened. • Flour. Store in freez- er. Unopened flour lasts for up to a year; opened, six to eight months. Whole-wheat flour is good for up to a year unopened, but use within six months if opened so the oil doesn't dry out. • Granulated sugar. Store in cool, dry place; good for two years unopened; use within six months if opened. • Corn syrup. ACH Food Compa- nies Inc., the company that manu- factures Karo syrup, says it is safe for consumption for an indefinite period of time, whether it has been opened or not. Light corn syrup may turn slightly yellow with age, but this is normal and not harmful. • Marshmallow cream. Up to four months unopened; store in refriger- ator once opened, and use within two months. • Marshmallows. Keep in an air- tight container in a cool, dry place; good for three months. • Powdered sugar. Store in a cool, dry place (not the refrigerator); good for 18 months unopened. • Pure vanilla extract. Store at room temperature; as long as it is pure, it has an indefinite shelf life. In fact, it even gets better with age. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate • Raisins. Up to three years stored at tempera- tures up to 80 F. Can be refrigerated. • Spices, ground. Store in a cool, dry place for two to three years. • Sweetened condensed milk. Store in a cool, dry place; good for one year unopened; invert can every two months. I still am searching for informa- tion on candied fruit. So far, I can find no indication that it will ever spoil or change in quality or texture. I'll keep you posted.
