Pickled occy-how long does it last?
Submitted by choc on Sun, 2017-12-03 16:37
Hi Guys
Got an occy in the cray pot yesterday so he got cooked and pickled, turned out beautiful.
Just wondering how long pickled occy will last in the fridge in a sealed jar?
Cheers, Choc.

As above not long .
If done 50/50. Good 6 months. On other hand lasts that long . Can't be nice. Joke . Enjoy

Change
After a few days tip the vinegar out and change it with good quality olive oil. this will stop the cooking process otherwise you will finish up with mush

Shit if one occy lasts more
Shit if one occy lasts more than a day in the fridge your doing something completely wrong.
Having said that I do 8kg at a time, eat most of it myself and mostly gone in a week or 2 but I have had some after 3 months no prob

The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

Thanks guysThe one we got
Thanks guys
The one we got went in a day but I liked it that much I might go out and try to get more. Thought it would be good to stock up a few jars in the fridge to eat over summer.

The grapes of wrath.
If you plan on keeping some vinegar and oil in there always use grapeseed oil , it doesnt seperate out from the
vinegar in the fridge, just about all other oils will seperate.
You can buy it at woolys / coles etc.
I have some occy in fridge atm , prob a 25% vinegar 75% grapessed oil mix, with a hint of sweet chilli sauce and honey , its 6 months old,
still holding its shape outside but soft and sweet on inside.
