Answers:
As long as the jar is tightly resealed and you keep it cold, it can last upwards of 2 weeks or so!.
SMELL is the most important factor after looking at the area around the mouth of the jar!.!.!.
If the area around the mouth of the jar looks 'off' then throw it out!.
On average, I keep to the "One Week Rule" and chuck it after that but with jar items, they have a lot of preservatives in them so they can keep longer then fresh stuff!.
But remember!.!.!. GO WITH YOUR FIRST INSTINCT!
If you open the jar and you even THINK it looks or smells 'off' then don't chance getting sick!.!.!.
There are no 'hard rules' when it comes to how long stuff will stay good for!.!.!. If your instincts say "No" then follow them!.!.!. Even if you do have to throw out food!Www@FoodAQ@Com
