How long does pesto keep in the fridge?
« on: September 10, 2011, 02:27:26 pm »
I got a load of basil really cheap yesterday so have made some pesto and put it in the fridge.

Does anyone know how long it is likely to last - OH is away and it would be good to have some when he gets back.  If it doesn't keep long, I'll freeze it

Thanks

Freezing it works well. Also pouring oil over the top of it in the jar will help keep it fresh and green (prevents the oxidising) though I have no idea how long it will keep for - sorry

I freeze mine as I am never sure about keeping it.  Freezes very well.

Thanks Kathryn and Chookie  - that's made up my mind for me and I'll go and freeze it right away.
