You can leave your eggs in pickle juice for as long as 4 months before the eggs start going bad.
It takes at least 3 to 4 days for the eggs to take on the pickle juice flavor and if you eat the eggs before 3 days then the eggs won't have as good of a pickle taste to them.
So be sure to leave the eggs in the pickle juice for at least 3 to 4 days to get the best flavor.
However if you want an even better tasting pickled egg you should leave the eggs in the pickle juice for a few weeks or longer.
The longer you leave the eggs in the pickle juice the more they will taste like the pickle juice.
I recommend leaving the eggs in the pickle juice for at least 4 weeks but you don't have to leave the eggs in the pickle juice that long.
Pickled eggs do eventually go bad after about 4 months.
When you have pickled eggs they should be kept refrigerated once you open a jar of pickled eggs and refrigerate them until you use them all up.
It's best to eat the pickled eggs within a few months for the best taste and quality as overtime the pickled eggs lose the freshness and are not as good.
If the pickled eggs smell bad or taste bad then throw them out because if that happens they are unsafe to eat.
Homemade pickled eggs should always remain refrigerated because you could get botulism if they are not refrigerated.
Pickled eggs that are store bought and unopened can remain out in the pantry or just out of the refrigerator for up to 4 months and longer.
After about a year though the pickled eggs will start going bad so eat them up before then.
