I leave the pickles in the covered casserole dish I mix them in, and with my family, the pickles never last more than a few days. I don't think sterilization is necessary (but never hurts) in this case because these pickles are not meant to be stored beyond a few days... the recipe said that the pickles will keep for up to two weeks in the refrigerator, and I don't think the vinegar concentration is really high enough to preserve the carrots for a longer storage time.
