apple sauce nad mint sauce help please!

Options
I have loads of eating apples that are going to go off, so thought I would make some apple sauce with water and sugar. How long will it last in a jar in the fridge? Is there any way of getting it to last any longer?

Also I have loads of mint in the garden, so thought I would jar some mint sauce to use over winter. If I mix it with water, sugar and vinegar as normal, how long will it last, and where should I keep it?

Thanks!!!

    I'd freeze the apple sauce in little bags or icecube trays.

    The mint sauce should keep in a jar in the fridge - not sure how long for but the vinegar should preserve it very well.
    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

    i make apple sauce then freeze in an ice cube tray, pop them out when frozen and put them in a freezer b ag to free up the trays for other things, you can then take out just the right amount when u want it
