    Until it grows mould? :)

    I've had some for six weeks now and it still passes the sight and taste tests :)

    Well, this was originall my thought!

    Mine must have been in the fridge for around 4 weeks and it seems fine. But I thought as it contains eggs maybe I should be chucking it away by now.

    I honestly don't know, they're cooked eggs, after all... I intend eating mine though :)

    I keep mine till I've finished it 9much too nice to waste) and that is sometimes three weeks or so - still here.

    I make mine in the pressure cooker so that probably kills any buggies
    It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!

    We don't make ours in the pressure cooker but it still keeps up to month in the fridge if no one eats it first. Don't forget it can be frozen. We regularly freeze the surplus.

    Keeps? what do you mean? Mum made strawberry jam last week, 1 day our jar 'lasted'. She made parkin on Sunday, the recipe says it 'keeps' for weeks, it lasted all the way till teatime.

    Please can anyone tell me how long it will keep?

    I don't want to eat it quickly (and sicken myself! :p ) then find out it would've kept for 3+ months!!
