   My grandmother never processed these, just stuck them on the shelf for a couple of months to marinate

   On the rare occasions when I've made 'em, I keep the jars under refrigeration, just to be sure

   Please note I am NOT a canning/preserving expert -- have done VERY little of this (got my fill of it as a kid)
