I keep forgetting to ask: does anyone know how long salsa lasts once it's opened and refrigerated? I've read that hot sauces can last for over a year, but I'm reading that salsa's only last 1-2 weeks. Anyone keep a salsa in the fridge for extended periods? I've got a jar of Jolokia 10 that's half full and it's been in there for about 4 months. I wonder if I should just toss it.
Here's an example...

When I bought my 1st jar of Ghost sauce, I also bught some mild, or medium Mrs Renfros. In 2 weeks, the mild stuff was getting mildew around the edges, but the Ghost never did. I guess the Ghost is too hot for mildew...

The hotter, the more mildew resistant? Maybe... I know that's why people started eating hot spices back in the day, because before refrigeration, people would get food born illnesses & the heat, kept the bugs at bay...

There could be something to that actually. I have heard people say that eating hot stuff kept them healthier, they thought.

I have another theory that vinegar has a lot to do with it. It seems like a lot of the sauces tend to have vinegar in them. Like Tobasco. Salsa generally doesn't have vinegar as far as I know. Vinegar is used to pickle stuff all the time as a form of preservation, so it would stand to reason, at least in my mind, that the sauce should have a longer shelf life.

Currently living in a van down by the river.
I've been sick with a cold since late last Friday. I'm home today, blowing my nose every 60 seconds it seems. A few minutes ago I suddenly got a :idea:... try some super hot sauce! So I poured out a little bit of Pain is Good Batch #37 Garlic Style Hot Sauce and had a go. My sinuses miraculously cleared within about 3 mins. It works. LOL! But, it only works until the heat wears off and then the waterworks are back. Anyway, I thought it was worth a mention.

Use it to clear out he sinuses, then, once cleared, use some flonase, or similar. Helps to use the flonase when the nostrils are cleared.

Is it any less vinegary than the original? Even if it's not, I think I'll be trying it too.
