This stuff should -- theoretically -- keep for a couple of weeks. But it you are in doubt, toss it out and make a new batch. It's not like it takes long to make.
I found a similar recipe in a book by Nancy and Jeffrey Gerlach, called Too Many Chiles!, published by Out West Publishing in 1994. If you can find a copy, get it. It has lots of recipes and tips for dealing with chiles.
