I used to refrigerate my sauces and don't anymore, only homemade ones that haven't been canned. I figure there is enough vinegar in them to preserve them for a long time. No one has gotten poisoned yet! I have 6-8 sauces on the table at all times. The only one that looks worse-for-wear is my hubby's Frank's Red Hot and that is because we keep on refilling it from a gallon jug in the basement. It has changed color a bit but no taste in flavor or texture. Just my 2 cents, RisaG --- Fred Morris <Sooner54@webtv.net> wrote: > Well, Andy, I have a fridge full of bottles, but it > dawned on me that I > have never in my life put my Tabasco sauce there. > Why all the others > and not it?
