How to Store Homemade Pickles: Expert Tips to Keep Them Fresh for Months
There’s nothing worse than opening a jar of your favorite pickle only to find it spoiled. Proper storage is key to preserving the bold flavors and shelf life of homemade pickles. At Pullamma Pickles, we’ve mastered the art of pickle preservation over decades. Here’s how you can keep your pickles fresh and crunchy:
1. Use Airtight Glass Jars
Always store pickles in sterilized, dry glass jars. Plastic containers can react with spices and oil, altering the taste.
2. Keep Moisture Out
A single drop of water can ruin your pickle! Use clean, dry spoons to scoop out portions.
3. Refrigerate After Opening
While our Andhra Mango Pickle stays fresh for months at room temperature, refrigeration after opening extends its shelf life.
4. Layer with Oil
Ensure the pickle is fully submerged in oil. This creates a natural barrier against bacteria.
5. Check for Spoilage
If you notice mold or a foul smell, discard the batch immediately.
Bonus Tip: Label jars with the preparation date!
