My sister made these like 3 days ago, called them quick pickles, they have been in a shelf for the last three days but I’m not sure if they are safe to eat, it has bubbles, and smells quite strongly, I also heard this kind of pickle need to be refrigerated, so any help/advice would be greatly appreciated

I’ve only heard of quick pickles being refrigerated, or more often, eaten straight away.
These jars also aren’t considered safe for canning.
Bubbles aren’t necessarily a red flag, but I personally wouldn’t want to eat these.
What in the world….what is that lid? That jar? What was her recipe and process? Good lord almighty.
No they are not safe. Quick Pickles go straight into the fridge after they have cooled.
She improperly Fermented something. Toss it all.
I would ask what ratios she used.
I think it’s likely safe tbh. People lactoferment cucumbers all the time.
I wouldn’t leave them out for months and months, but 3 days would be within my realm of tolerance. Especially if it had ~1tbs salt.
Its probably starting to ferment
