  1. We might try making this for some friends/family over the holidays. It's an excellent and personalized way to gift something cost effective during the festive season and might be appreciated. I am always particular about expiration dates on food items. I know that preserves and sauces don't expire right away. Do you think a one year date form the time we prepare this is good?

  3. Why do you need the cornflour? A thickening agent?
