Marinate New Veggies In Leftover Pickle Juice

I recently got a huge jar of pickles for under a dollar due to overstocking. My aunt always did this with her pickle juice, and I plan to do the same: Once all of the pickles have been eaten from your jar, save the pickle juice.

Buy a cucumber, slice into wedges or thin slices, and put into your old jar of pickling juices for 5-7 days. Now you have ANOTHER cheap jar of pickles, for only the cost of one little old cucumber!

(Archived Sep 30, 2010)Marinate Veggies In Pickle Juice

Tip: Marinate Veggies In Pickle Juice

When the pickle jar gets empty, don't throw out that pickle juice. Drop carrot sticks or zucchini slices into the juice and let marinade for a few days. This makes a delicious, healthy snack.

I know someone who used to actually drink the pickle juice and just loved it. She said it helped her with colds. (04/10/2008)
