Shelf life of jalapanos and pepperchinis?
How long will a jar of store bought jalapanos with a twist on cap in a glass bottle stay good for in the fridge. It says best by 2010 but doesnt that only apply if they are closed? same for can of pepperchinis, how long will they stay fresh
Answers: Yes! the 2010 date is for if they have NEVER been opened! And not allowed to get real hot ... And even at that, for best quality, you should use them within a year.
And if you have opened them and they have been kept in the fridge, they should last quite a while. I have kept them for 3 months or more with no problem. Because they are in an acid (vinegar) brine they tend to last longer.
