I’m new to canning so I was wondering how long these will last and do they have to stay refridgerated?
I have always kept mine in the fridge and have had them for many months in the fridge unopened and 6 months or so opened in the fridge. You can kind of judge by how long do you normally keep an opened jar of dill pickles in the fridge, you can do these the same. I really keep them a long time because the boiling and the vinegar kills most everything.
