Stewed fruit

[hardy49]

Probably a silly question,but here goes !
I stewed some rhubarb at the weekend meaning to have it either yesterday or today.However,my husband is working until the weekend now - will it keep ok in the fridge ?

[jessiedog]

Should be fine, I regularly do this as I love very cold rhubarb, not too sweet.

Many thanks - just needed reassurance !!!

do you drink alcohol? if you do you can barely cover the top of stewed fruits with brandy or whiskey or any alcohol of your choice.

[hardy49]

Even better !

oh that is interesting I would have not realised you could keep stewed fruit for a week. Will keep that in mind.

I should be very wary of keeping anything for a week once cooked, even in the fridge. Surely something acidic such as rhubarb will begin to deteriorate and even if it's not; off as such, the flavour will be affected? I may well be wrong H but I'd be careful!

Have decided to make a crumble with it !
