A note before saving leftovers

Keep perishable food at 4°C/40°F or colder. Refrigerate promptly in shallow containers. Discard food left out longer than two hours, or one hour above 32°C/90°F. USDA explains safe leftover handling.

Follow the storage instructions on the recipe and the pickle jar you used. Adding pickles to a salad or dinner does not preserve the finished dish. Refrigerator pickles, fermentation and shelf-stable canning are different methods: choose the method before making the jar.
