How to Store and Serve Our Pickles: Shelf Life, Fridge Tips and Serving Ideas

You have a jar of [PICKLES] (or a whole box of them). Now what? Here is everything you need to know about storing our pickles, plus our favorite ways to serve them so every jar gets finished.

How to store our pickles

Unopened: the pantry is fine

Every 17 oz jar comes with a resealable lid and keeps for up to two years unopened. That makes our jars easy to stock up on, and easy to buy early for gifts. Keep them somewhere cool and out of direct sun.

Opened: into the fridge

Refrigerate after opening and keep the pickles under the brine. Always use a clean fork or tongs, not fingers, so the jar stays fresh. Serve them cold for the best crunch.

How to serve them: our favorite ideas

On a board

A pickle is the bright, crunchy bite every charcuterie or cheese board needs. Mix a sour jar like The Vintage, a sweet one like The Bread and Butter and a pop of color like The Carrots. See bold pickles for charcuterie boards and the Thanksgiving pickle board.

With burgers, sandwiches and fried chicken

The Dill Chips on burgers, The Kosher Dill Spears next to a deli sandwich, and The Green Tomatoes on a fried chicken or pulled pork sandwich.

At a party or tailgate

Set out three or four open jars with toothpicks and let guests graze. Our tailgate pickle spread and Friendsgiving pickle tray show you how, no cooking required.

In the glass

Garnish a Bloody Mary with The Zesty Okra or The Horse Pickle, or pour The Pickle Brine for the mix.

FAQ

Do your pickles need to be refrigerated?

Not before opening. Unopened jars keep for up to two years. Refrigerate after opening.

Can I order pickles now for a gift later?

Yes. Because unopened jars are shelf-stable, you can order early and store them until the big day. See our pickle stocking stuffers.

What size are your jars?

Each jar is 17 oz, in glass with a resealable lid.
