Questions People are asking about these Refrigerator Pickles

How long do these pickles last in the refrigerator?

We've had ours last almost 1 year! But as we always recommend, do a smell/ look test. If something smells/ looks off, best to toss them to the chickens.

Tips about making these pickles

• Make sure to allow the brine to cool before adding it to the pickles.

• Make your own Garlic Powder and you'll never want to go back to the store bought stuff!

• Do the work to wait the 3 days as recommended in the refrigerator. I know, I know it's super hard to wait those 3 days for those crunchy delightful pickles, but I promise it'll be worth wait!
