Homemade tartar sauce can typically be stored in the refrigerator for about 1 to 2 weeks. To ensure its freshness and flavor, it’s essential to keep the sauce in an airtight container. Additionally, always check for any signs of spoilage, such as off smells or changes in color and texture, before using it. If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to discard the sauce to maintain food safety. Keep in mind that the shelf life may vary slightly based on the specific ingredients used, so use your judgment and trust your senses when determining the freshness of your homemade tartar sauce.
