How long would you keep homemade garlic butter in the fridge for before chucking out?

[itsadogquestion]

Just that really

It’s been made with dairy free butter and fresh garlic if that counts for anything.

Made on Thursday night, in a tub which is wrapped in clingfilm.

I'd pop it in the freezer.

I'd chuck it. Three days would be my limit, so it would be heading to the bin today.

Same length of time you'd keep garlic or butter.

How long would you keep it for?

It should be fine for a couple of weeks

It will be fine for ages!

Weeks!

I dont think I would chuck it out.

Ive got butter in the fridge its been there months

Weeks, especially if wrapped up excluding air. Fat, salt and garlic all inhibit anything nasty growing.

Weeks

Until I’d used it. Have never taken much notice of how long butter has been in my fridge, never had any problems with it. (This obviously assumes you made it hygienically …)

It will be fine for at least a couple of weeks-as long as you'd keep the butter for.

I'd put it in the freezer today where it will last for months. Or, buy a baguette tomorrow time permitting & make garlic bread, wrap in foil & freeze.

in fact, I just checked the butter Im using, I opened it last week and used it for a recipe and used some more tonight. Use by date June 23!!!!!

Perfectly fine

If it’s wrapped, months

In the fridge? It’ll be fine for weeks and weeks

I got out the block of butter I bought at Christmas to use on my crumpets this morning. I'm still alive!

6 weeks

The butter element is fine. If it was fresh garlic I would only keep it for a couple of days. There is a small theoretical risk of botulinum contamination from the garlic, and that thrives in an oxygen free environment. There have certainly been cases when fresh garlic has been infused into olive oil and butter is a similar fatty medium.

Give over. Nobody throws butter out after 3 days.

OP, it will be fine for weeks and weeks.

I had one in my fridge for a couple of weeks. I’m still alive 🤷🏼‍♀️

I make a batch of garlic butter using a fresh block of butter, fresh garlic and dried parsley about every month. So I would say weeks.
