You say: 'in a boiling water bath or store in the refrigerator'. Don't you mean AND store in the refrigerator. The frig alone is not going to adequately kill bacteria in the sealed jars.

Hi David,

The refrigerator, the vinegar, and the salt are sufficient to keep them for 3 weeks or longer. If you want to store them in the refrigerator indefinitely, you might prefer to process them also.

When stored in the refrigerator without any processing, they will keep for about the same length of time as a jar of store bought pickles keeps in the refrigerator once opened.
