Advise on preservation

Hey there

Made those little gems today, partly to dress up the pastrami that will come tonight (stay tuned for that!). Of course, with those preparations, you always end up with too much... I was wondering if I could freeze them without altering the consistency of it. I am not sure about preserving them in the fridge without altering the taste.

They content:

- Boiled beets

- Cider vinegar

- Sugar

- Salt

- Carrageenan gum

Thanks !

Uncertain of amounts of each but the sugar will lower the freezing temp. Depending on the amount of vinegar sugar and salt (all of which should help with preserving) it may keep for some time in the fridge.

How long do you want to hold it? In any case, I might add a dash of ascorbic acid.

Thanks guys... Since I never know when I'll use them and don't use that kind of stuffs every day, I would say 1-2 months? Yes good idea for the ascorbic acid. I can sprinkle some it in each bottle

Ah, that's quite some time. I think the best option would be to vacuum seal and freeze.

1 month probably ok, 2 may be pushing it depending on the acidity.

Thanks guys. Can't vaccum seal liquids but I can freeze so I'll do that!
