Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks to allow the flavors to meld. If any jars didn't seal, store them in the refrigerator and consume them within a few weeks.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the pickling spice mixture.
Use high-quality distilled white vinegar for the best flavor and preservation.
Make sure to sterilize the jars and use new lids to ensure a proper seal for long-term storage.
