How long does jarred basil pesto stay in the fridge?!


Question: How long does jarred basil pesto stay in the fridge!?
Is it like a condiment or pickles and good for a while, or does it go bad!? I buy a jar and use it for a recipe and then it sits there!. The jar says "best by 9-28-2008" but I know it has been in the fridge at this point for several months!. It smells fine and there is no black on the inside of the jar or lid!. TIA!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
If it hasn't turned black anywhere, I'd say try it! I used a jar of minced garlic for several months, and they say to toss it pretty quick! As long as it hasn't taken on a funny smell or look, then it should be fine!.

Personally, I'm appalled at the waste in food in this country because it says "use by xxxxxxx"!Www@FoodAQ@Com
