Reusing pickle "juice".
Hi fellow cook-heads. :) I can pickles and I'm finding I'm throwing away a
1/2 pt of delicious Bread and Butter "pickle juice" every time we finish a jar. This is a vinegar/sugar based juice as you know. I find this very wasteful. Can it be reused to make more pickles? We don't eat salads including potato salad due to being on a low-carb diet so it's either reboil it and make more B&B pickles or........ ??? The sugar in the "juice" is a rare treat for us but more carbs are out. No one here eats regular salads either. They end up on the compost heap. Thoughts and ideas please. :) |

Fill the jar with canned or freshly cooked beets, boil the juice and pour it over the beets. Refrigerate for several days before eating. -- Wayne Boatwright ------------------------------------------- Monday, 08(VIII)/04(IV)/08(MMVIII) ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- Where am I going, and why am I in this handbasket? ------------------------------------------- |

Yes, but you need to be aware of the reduction in acidity, because it affects the preservative quality of the vinegar. Especially for hot pack pickles, which are not run through a pressure cooker for a time and pressure sufficient to kill microorganisms that may ail you. |

Can't comment on its reuse for canned pickles cos we don't can them LOL. Juice from half-sour pickles and from kosher-type dills can be reused as well. We boil it, adjust the seasoning if needed and pickle away; not just cucumbers, but other vegetables or eggs. Jars cleaned in hot soapy water, rinsed in hot water and filled while hot. The pickle juice can be part of a salad dressing too, if liked. |

Just enough to cover the bottom of the pan and then allow it to boil off. It adds just a nice zing to fried potatoes. I suppose you could try it as an addition in other types of cooking too. Perhaps over stir fry or something else as a nice acidic kick. JW |
