Thanks Knobby that sounds great Very Happy

So pleased you didn't forget

Will let you know when I've done it. Probably a hypothetical question, as I'm sure it will be demolished as soon as its made, Wink

but how long does it keep Question

Are we talking about the relish here or something else Shocked

or would that would be the hypothetical question

LOL

The relish should keep for at least 6 months

Obviously it depends if it's been opened, but sealed properly in a jar it will keep, as you would have burned off any bacteria in the cooking process

Thanks,

I doubt it will be around that long but at least I know I won't poison anyone.

Not intentionally at least
