Only several - or rather, only months?

Some of my pickles and chutneys have been improving in their jars for
several years...

When you live alone and grow bumper crops of beans and tomatoes, and
have apples gu leor available, and you *NEVER* throw screwtop jars away,
you just can't eat the stuff fast enough to keep up.

Haven't molished any for a couple of years now. I feel a session coming on.

At this time of surplus runner beans and tomatoes my wife makes a
cracking bean and tomato salad. The beans are sliced & parboiled to
soften them and drained & mixed with the sliced tomatoes to cool.

The sauce is:
tablespoon wine vinegar
half teaspoon Worcester sauce
75mL olive oil
salt & pepper &chopped parsley to suit taste.

Leave for an hour to mingle flavours.
