Was just curious how long homemade pico would last in the refrigerator. Haven't made it homemade yet, but will be doing it shortly. I have not found the tomatoes to get mushy at all. When I take a jar from fridge, I have to break seal as it does tend to seal when we put cap and seal back on. I hope this helps!

I've eaten pico that only I have made for up to 2 weeks. I use a good bit of fresh lime juice and that seems to keep everything fresh for a long time.

Spice it up. If you want the Pico de Gallo to be spicier then add some of the reserved jalapeno seeds or a pinch of cayenne. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature. If you serve Pico de Gallo really cold it will taste flat.
