I'm not sure because I haven't done it. You can also leave them in the pantry longer than the 1-2 weeks it takes to ferment them. I sometimes do big jars of cucumbers and carrots that don't fit in the fridge and they taste fine after even a couple months at room temperature. You just want to keep an eye on them because the fermentation will continue so the taste and texture of the veggies will keep changing, and you want to remove any mold that grows on the surface of your water seal.

Very excited about trying to pickle some extra yellow squash the natural way. Curious though if there is a way to seal and store in the pantry when done pickling for longer storage outside of the fridge? Any thoughts on longer term storage? Hi!
