How long can you continue to use a jar of pasta sauce that has been opened but refrigerated? Is two weeks still ok?

If its been sealed, sure. Mine lasts at least that long -I dont use up one jar per use.

Right with a lid (not a can sauce)
ummm, I leave it in until I finish it! however long it takes! As long as there is nothing fuzzy growing on it or it doesnt smell weird, I dont think its a problem. -------------------- "But its not the type of thing to mess around with....If after 120 you come up and Hashem says "NU?!" and you say "Whaaa" - Then you're in trouble"

I used a pasta sauce the other day that was 2 weeks old and no problems at all. -------------------- *This space for rent*

That's more my style for determining whether something is still good, but I always had it rammed into my head by my mother that tomato sauce in a jar is only good for one week, and must be frozen into portion-size baggies after then. -------------------- |

Funny, I was just debating this tonight myself. We made matzah pizza (only 2 boxes left to go!) and only used the tiniest splash of sauce...I think I'm going to freeze it, because we never seem to use it fast enough for me to 'trust' that it's ok...not freezing in the original container of course, will put it in a freezer bag/jar/somesuch.

You're mom's neurotic. I keep sauce for a few weeks. I have a really cold refrigerator and keep the lid on. -------------------- "Except for the most part what people seem to be pining for is licentiousness and debauchery and culinary experimentation, rather than wearing a srugie and a blue shirt at a simchah sitting next to a person of the opposite gender while eating fresh strawberries while checking your emails from the Sen.

Not sure about that one; if a sauce isn't good any more for using fresh, what's the point of freezing it? You'd be better freezing it straight away and then taking out what you need when you need it. -------------------- "Mommy, is this the house where we are allowed to swing on the chairs, or the house where we're not allowed to swing on the chairs?"

they talked about this on the today show a couple of days ago. apparently, once the jar's open, you have about a week.

The jar claims 1 week after opened. I keep it in the very back where it's coldest anyway.
