Redcurrant Vinaigrette question

starjumper

I have found this recipe for Redcurrant Vinaigrette on the Able and Cole website - my question - how long do you think this will last for? I quite like the idea of knocking up some bottles for Christmas presents but I don't want to be giving out things which will quickly go off. Any thoughts?


Redcurrant Vinaigrette
Drizzle over cooked dishes and salads. This lush vinaigrette especially complements warm or cold meats - try it with cold roast beef sliced over green salad, with lots of freshly cracked pepper. Serves 4

• 4 tablespoons orange juice
• 1 punnet redcurrants
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon or wholegrain mustard
• 4 tablespoons walnut oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Whisk the liquid ingredients and the mustard together. Fold in the redcurrants and season to taste with salt and pepper.

The acid in the vinegar and currents will probably affect the oil and cause it to go rancid after a while. I think commercial dressings contain all sorts of stabilisers. I always thought that HM salad dressings didn't keep well for this reason. love to be proved wrong but not sure I'd risk it for gifts.
