284luvr, the recipe said they didn't have to be refrigerated but I did my first batch for the first two weeks just to be safe. After that I took them out and just left them on the counter top for the third week before I started eating on them.

The pickled onions are almost as good as the eggs so I doubled up on them this go round. And the peppers are great in pinto beans, almost like a hot chow chow.
