I am new here and see no one has answered. It my be that the "official" answer is a few months but in reality they last longer. I can only give my experience. I made some too with a traditional recipe. I made sure to use really fresh pickling cucumbers from my garden. I opened the last jar from last August last week and they were perfect. I remember reading on the directions that they "last" 2 months. I would imagine that the quality would go down but that has not been my experience. Good luck!

There is another option. Freezer pickles. If interested, I will reply with the recipe. Millie
