Is it a completely sealed jar? If so they can last a very long time.

I've noticed they get to stinking pretty bad after a week. I would make up fresh each time you case. RR

Hmm.....I have had jars last months with no problems. 50/50+ mix in completely sealed jars, after 90 min sterilization in a PC.

I too make mine in vacuum sealed jars. I too have used 6 month old jars.
probably better to use asap.

If you've used them after months, they've been sterilized, not pasteurized. RR

now that you mention it...
the old ones I used were sterilized.
that was before I switched to pasteurization.
