Have tried to make my own brand of chipotles in adobo, but, am stumped as to how long to leave it before consumption. How long can you lot keep your own bottles maturing ? Drooling, this end Andrew Healy Andrew...... I never had that problem because they were consumed within a week of making them. They are the ultimate snack food with cream cheese and crackers.... Seriously, they're ready as soon as they're made, honest. Just use lotsa garlic, vinegar and brown sugar and you have a real treat. Diane
