So, after buying a huge jar of pickles, my little one loves dill pickles, I am left with a huge jar of pickle juice. One of my friends used to drink my pickle juice but since I moved he isnt around to drink it anymore so I went online to find out what can I do with my pickle juice? I found a nice thread of different pickle juice uses. It mostly boiled down to anything you normal use pickles in you can also use pickle juice to add extra flavor. Such as potato salad, blood mary mix, or tuna salad. A lot of receipes that call for vinger you may sub pickle juice if you dont mind the pickle flavor. Julia Child's is credited with the suggestion of adding pickle juice to your water when poaching eggs. It apparently helps with keeping the white together.
Several posts on an article on seriouseats.com suggested using pickle juice in to marinate meats or using for dressings. It was even suggested as a hangover cure, most likely from the high salt content since after a night of drinking you are actually really dehydrated.
As for me, my mother used to pour pickle juice over her rose bushes.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
