In addition to Mike's information, I just bottled this on Friday. I ended up following the steps here:
- 24 hours in advance of bottling, I threw the canned juices in the fridge to thaw
- when I had all my bottles and what not sanitized (30 minutes before actual bottling?) I made the syrup
- when syrup creation was complete, I pulled the cans out of the fridge (thawed now) and added them to the syrup to cool it down, mixed well, added to the bottling bucked and racked, bottled, capped.
We all have our ways of doing things, I just didn't want to leave the syrup out for 24 hours (this was my second batch - the first I did follow the 24 hour step). It worked out well for me so far this time around.
Good luck!
