Storage Time
Once opened, pickled onions typically last for 3–4 weeks in the refrigerator, provided they remain submerged in their brine. Unopened jars can last for up to a year when stored in a cool, dark pantry.
Temperature
Store unopened jars in a cool, dark pantry (ideally between 15-20°C or 59-68°F). Once opened, always refrigerate at 0–4°C (32–40°F).
Signs of Spoilage
- Cloudy or murky brine, indicating bacterial growth.
- An off, yeasty, or alcoholic smell, suggesting fermentation beyond the intended pickling process.
- Soft, slimy, or mushy texture, a clear sign of spoilage and loss of crispness.
