Tested

"I have now made this recipe many times. I think i must have made nearly 200 jars so far. As any one who grows courgettes knows, when they start producing, they dont stop! They make great presents for friends and family, and I have also managed to sell some, recouperating my costs for the other ingredients. With regard to a use by date, it is usually a rule that, providing the jars have been sterilised properly and are stored in a cool dark cupboard when filled, it should last for approximately a year. If in doubt, give it a smell and taste. If it has gone past its best, you will know. Hope this helps!"
