Storage Tips
Homemade chipotle sauce typically lasts for up to 2 weeks when stored in the refrigerator. The acidity from the vinegar and lemon juice helps preserve the sauce, but it will eventually start to lose its flavor and potency over time. Keep the sauce sealed tightly in a glass jar or plastic container to prevent air exposure, which can lead to spoilage. If you notice any signs of mold, off odors, or discoloration in your homemade chipotle sauce, it's best to discard it. To extend the shelf life of your homemade chipotle sauce, you can freeze it in an airtight container or ice cube trays. This way, you can thaw out small portions as needed. However, it may change the texture after thawing, therefore I recommend devouring it fresh.How Long Do Chipotles in Adobo Sauce Last
An unopened can of Chipotle in adobo can last for up to 2 years. Once you open it, transfer the remaining chipotles and adobo sauce to a tightly sealed glass jar and store in in the fridge. It can last for 6 months to a year. So, next time you reach for that can of Chipotle in adobo, rest assured that you'll have plenty of time and opportunities to use it up before it goes bad.Nutrition
