For regular 鈥淨uick Pickles鈥 (unprocessed), the recommendation is one month in the refrigerator. It can take a week or two for the flavor to develop, so let’s say no more than 6 weeks. Some manufacturers say that quick pickles can last up to 2 or 3 months, but we tend to be more cautious.
Also, if the pickles include onions, then they are good for only 2 weeks in the refrigerator; the onions will degrade in the vinegar. Quick pickles (refrigerator pickles) are meant to be prepared quickly and consumed quickly!
Note: If you kept store-bought pickles in a fridge, they can be kept for up to 1 year in the refrigerator after opening. The manufacturers put stabilizers/crisping agent to help the pickle keep the texture.
If you process these pickles (boiling water bath), they are good for one year on the shelf and after opening up to 3 months in refrigerator per Ball.
