salsa's, quince paste, tomato sauce etc

[auds]

Is there a rule of thumb as to how long all this stuff will last in the fridge?  I am finding heaps of recipes - for example a bbq sauce recipe that looks good

Obviously we wont eat it all at once so how economic are these things if you have to throw them away?

Cheers

Auds, tomato sauce recipes will keep in the fridge - you will use them up before they go off.
Chookie vacuum seals her quince paste for longer life.  You can always gift some if you think you have more than you can eat.  
Salsa, I am not sure about this one and would probably only make it as needed.

i thought you were not a freezer person thats y i didn’t mention it. I freeze most things i make.

Salsas  I would freeze.  Pate and meat pastes freeze.  Sauces in fridge , at least a year.  Quince paste 18 months and still ok.  Jams in sterile jars in pantry at least 2 years. Tapanades in freezer,  Xmas puds,  vacuum sealed in fridge a year.  When in doubt freeze.   It is worth having a variety of sizes in containers so that fillings are full in containers.  No air.  Very little waste here.
