ACH Food Companies, Inc., the conglomerate that owns and markets Karo syrup, says, "Karo syrup is safe to eat for an indefinite period of time, whether it has been opened or not opened. Light corn syrup may turn slightly yellow with age, but this is normal and not harmful. Storage conditions affect product quality. Before or after opening, Karo syrup may be stored at room temperature. Bottles may be refrigerated after opening, however, the syrup will be thicker and slower to pour."
Karo Syrup is light corn syrup. Unless you buy the dark one.
There are approximately 1.5 cups of Karo syrup in a pound. Therefore, in 4 pounds of Karo syrup, you would have about 6 cups.
Yes, you can freeze Karo syrup, but it's not necessary since it has a long shelf life when stored in a cool, dry place. If you do decide to freeze it, use an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and preserve its quality. When ready to use, simply thaw it in the refrigerator or at room temperature. However, be aware that freezing may alter its texture slightly, making it less viscous.
No, Karo syrup and cane syrup are not the same. Karo syrup is a brand of corn syrup, which is made from cornstarch and is typically sweeter and has a different texture compared to cane syrup. Cane syrup is made from sugarcane juice and has a distinct flavor and thicker consistency. While both can be used as sweeteners, they have different compositions and tastes.

Yes It Is
Molasses has a much, much stronger flavour than Karo (Dark Karo, that is, light Karo has a completely different flavour) but other than the taste of the final product, it should not effect the recipe much. Because of the flavour difference, though, I would cut the amount used by at least half, if not more, if I thought the recipe would still be OK.
No. high fructose corn syrup and corn syrup are distinctly different products. When Karo was introduced in 1902, it did not contain high fructose corn syrup. Sometime in the 1970's, it was added to the Karo light and pancake syrups. As a result of consumer requests, the high fructose corn syrup has now been removed and all Karo products are high fructose corn syrup free.
Dextrose, not fructose.
Yes, you can substitute Karo syrup with Aunt Jemima syrup, but keep in mind that they have different flavors and consistencies. Karo syrup is a corn syrup with a more neutral taste, while Aunt Jemima syrup is flavored and sweeter, resembling maple syrup. This substitution may affect the overall flavor of your recipe, so adjust other sweeteners accordingly if needed.
Yes. They are essentially the same thing.
Corn syrup freezes, becomes solid at temperatures ranging from about 30.5oF to 320F. The temperature varies with the concentration of hydrolyzed lactose.
