How to store spreads?

Most homemade spreads should be consumed within 1-2 days. Raw materials such as onions ferment quickly, so the taste of the spread might not be as fresh after two days.

However, you can also prepare healthy spreads in stock. The finished spreads are filled into glass containers with a cap. Sterilize in boiling water for 5-10 minutes. After sterilization, let cool and store in the refrigerator. Whenever you feel like it, reach for the prepared spread and enjoy. After opening, however, it must be consumed within 1-2 days.
