I have just found four jars of pickled red cabbage which was bottled last November. It looks and smells OK but I have never kept it so long before - would it still be OK to eat.

yes

Thank you MOS - will have some with my lunch which will be a sort of ploughman's.

Last November!    I've got some plum chutney three years old.  Maturing nicely! ! !     Cheers,    Tony.

If Springlands used the same recipe of Val's which I did, I recall it advised that if you keep it longer than ten to twelve weeks it will lose its crispiness.

Was going to say that the cabbage may be a bit "soggy" - she'll have to let us know! A plum chutney is a very different kettle of fish.

Argyllie and ValH - cabbage is definitely a bit soggy. Tastes OK but just does not have that crisp bite that it should have. 

[mumofstig]

but you'll live to tell the tale 

[arugula]

Of course.

Oh yes  I am still here
