    I wonder how long you could keep these in the fridge???  I know the short answer is they wont last past a day or two, because they are so freaking good.  I know a "snack pack" lasts years, but...

    I think a week is no problem.  Two at the most.  Past that I suspect they start going downhill, but truth be told I’ve never tried it.

    I have one left from my last batch. Has to be 3-4 weeks old.  I'll do some research tonight and report back.  I think I posted it here or texted you John.

    One of the fringe benefits of SV is that it effectively pasteurizes while cooking.  As long as you shock cold (ice bath vs ambient cooling), SV processed food keeps considerably longer than their counter parts cooked using traditional methods.

    Pro-tip: to make safe, raw cookie dough, pasteurize the egg before mixing the batch.  Then, eat away.

    Right.  Most of the recipes I’ve seen for these things just saw about a week in the fridge.  Probably they keep a good while, but I’ve definitely noticed a degradation in freshness for ones that I “discovered” in my fridge after awhile.  We’ll see what Yolk thinks.

    Found a few pots lost in the back of the fridge for quite a while.

    SHAME.

    I'm thinking I'll have my mother in law take a few bites then observe her for 30 mins to an hour and decide if they are still good.

  • @JohnInCarolina: Do you fully submerge the jars? If so, just wondering how the “finger tight” works out once under water. Thanks!
  • Oh man - @piney had some kind of Apple pie moonshine that was incredible.
    @piney: Recipe please?!  :)
  • @JohnInCarolina: Do you fully submerge the jars? If so, just wondering how the “finger tight” works out once under water. Thanks!
    Yes.

    Finger tight allows some air to escape the jars, which is what you want.  You’ll see small bubbles appear and float to the surface.  Water does not get inside in any appreciable way that would be a cause for concern.

    Pots were a hit....as always.
