No kidding...I'm going to try that. I love those pickled sausages in a bottle. Just normal uncooked weenies, apple cider vinegar and onion....I might get scared and put it in the frig. I wonder if that would stop the pickle process.
I have put them in the fridge on occasion but it takes a lot longer to get the same result. I use plain vinegar I don't much care for the flavor of apple cider vinegar.
