How long do the jarred roasted red peppers keep after opening? I have most of a

[curious1]

24 oz jar left and have no idea how long they'll keep. I suppose I could freeze some?

Add a tsp of white vinegar and it will keep a Really long time !

I always find the get a lil mushy if kept too long...(Never tried the vinegar trick) I usually make

a red pepper aoli or viniagrette with them.

 

[curious1]

Should I drain the liquid from the jar before adding vinegar or add it to the liquid?

 

[curious1]

I didn't think of making a salad of them. These are really good firm peppers, would make good salad

 

[luisa_calif]

No, don't drain just add it toliquid in the jar.

Also top up (over the peppers) with water. If you need to add much water, increase the vinegar some more.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm freezing some and adding vinegar to the rest. Looking up dip.

The BIGGEST thing to remember that any jar one uses some out of and then needs to keep the....

remainder for a bit is NEVER use a utensil that has had food/spit (put in the mouth)been sitting out anywhere too long. Unclean utensils deffinately spoil the food in the jar.
I have kept opened peppers for a couple weeks in the fridge with no problems.
