How long do pickles last in the fridge

I find making my own pickles incredibly rewarding. Taking fresh ingredients and preserving them for a later date means you can enjoy seasonal produce throughout the year.

Just how long does a pickle last though? If you are making a pickle yourself I always like to use a good recipe from a trusted and knowledgeable source. They almost always have a shelf life and storage method stated at the start or the end of the recipe.

Refrigerator pickles are made with vinegar and sometimes sugar and salt. They are intended to be stored in the fridge and in most cases will only last 2 — 4 weeks. Canned vinegar pickles are made with higher proportions of vinegar, salt and sugar.

The jars are then processed in a hot water bath. These pickles are shelf-stable and most often stored in a cupboard with a shelf life in the range of 6 months to a year or more. Lacto Ferment Pickles are made with just salt or brine made from salt and water. Bacteria ferment the vegetables or fruit and produce lactic acid. These kinds of pickles are fermented at room temperature for a week or two before being stored in the fridge. These typically last 4 — 6 months.
