Do pickled sausages need to be refrigerated? - Sliced Meat and Vegetables

We have a jar of Hannah's Red Hot Pickled Sausages that we just opened last night. I couldn't find any "Refrigerate After Opening" indication anywhere on the jar, so we left them out overnight. I'm still uneasy about it, but the only way to ask Hannah's is to have a facebook account. I don't have one since I don't use facebook (yes, only person on the planet), so I was hoping you may know for sure.

I have a jar of "Big John's" pickled sausages and right on the bottom it says "NEVER NEEDS REFRIGERATION"! They sit at stores and bars for for many days if not weeks and are sold by the sausage.

I found this on Hannah's Facebook page. "They do not need to be refrigerated after opening in temperatures below 75 degrees. Recommended refrigeration for temps higher."

How do you store pickled sausages?

Method 1:
  • Put brine in a large jar.
  • Put the cooked sausages in the jar.
  • Keep the jar in the refrigerator.
  • You can eat the pickled sausage after 2 or 3 days, then the sausage will have absorbed the full flavors of the brine.


    • Do herbs pickled sausages need to be refrigerated?

    No, they don't require refrigeration after opening...but like most pickled products, they will keep their good flavor longer if kept cool or refrigerated.

    Is pickled sausage shelf-stable?

    Since the pickling and brining process preserves meat for a long time, these sausages are wonderfully durable and shelf-stable food. Therefore, if you've been looking for snacks that will last a long time in the pantry, pickled sausages are a great choice. Indeed, the shelf life of pickled sausages is around two years!

    Answer 2

    I'm unfamiliar with Hannah's, but if they are pickled with vinegar you might be okay so long as you consume them within a few days. If it were dilly beans or gherkins I'd say you're probably fine (depending on the amount of vinegar) - but meat is a different matter.

    Do they look anything like this (or have similar ingredients)?

    Answer 3

    When I was a kid, 1950's our local market had jars of everything pickled, pigs feet, sausages of different kinds, eggs, cheeses and other stuff from what Big Mike said was from the home land momma makes. None of it was ever refrigerated for months or more and I and many others ate it often. The key word is pickled, meaning preserved beyond spoiling.
