Hey Uma! Thank you – and thanks for sharing! 🙂
I see they’re ready quickly. Great . Can I ask if they can be stored and for how long ? Thanks.
Hi Fe – they usually last a good few weeks as they’re caramelised already. Just make sure to use a perfectly clean jar and lid, that’s important. You can also seal them using long-lasting techniques (google ‘canning’ or ‘jarring’) and then they’ll really last for ages! Hope that helps 🙂
