Considering how long my husband has been known to leave leftover pizza in
the fridge, at least a week, probably two. Maybe as long as a month.
Commercial pepperoni is so full of preservatives that I don't know if it
even qualifies as organic anymore.

The grease is more orange when pepperoni is involved, yes. Kind of the
same color as tomato oil but not quite.

As for glycerine, yes it will take color. I'd use paste color, a teeny bit
at a time, and hold it over white paper in a clear container to see your
color change.
