Almost everyone's pantry has a few cans of fruit in them, and they're likely packed in light or heavy syrup. The stuff is essentially fruit-flavored corn syrup, which means it's useful for a number of things once you've fished out the fruit.

Ever a source of entertainment, Yahoo Answers has a great list of uses for the syrup in a can of fruit once the fruit is gone or used. One of the suggestions that really stands out is to use the syrup in your fruit smoothies, even if you're not using the canned fruit in the smoothie. Most fruit smoothies need a little sweetener in them anyway. If you're concerned with just pouring fruity corn syrup into your smoothie, you can dilute it with water to thin it out a bit.

They also suggest a number of other uses, like thickening and pouring the syrup over a cake or cobbler for dessert. Some of the other tips run between useful and disturbing, but what do you do with the leftover syrup or juice from a can of fruit? Does it go down the drain, or do you have a clever use to share?
