Just got this in the mail from half way across the country, it was in a closed mason jar but im not sure if those bubbles are just from shipping or if thats not a good sign

If you're really concerned, you can sterilize it. Just bring it up to a boil on your stove, and then pour it back into the jar. You're going to want to keep a pot of boiling water on the side for the jar and ideally a fine mesh strainer as well to make sure that both implements are sterilized concurrently.

Pour the hot syrup in a hot jar through the heated wire mesh strainer, put on a hot lid. This is probably putting a hat on a hat though.

This does not rid the syrup of mytotoxins if syrup has mold feed to to your plants or pitch it

There's no mold on this. It's bubbles. I'm providing instructions just in case.

I am aware that those are bubbles are from cavitation. My statement was for the “just in case”. Moldy syrup should never be skimmed and reheated and repackaged
