Re-pickles Leftover pickle juice is usually full of flavour, and includes all the flavourings that went into creating the original jar. The recycled pickle brine provides an opportunity to save vegetable odds and ends for up to a week, crisping them up and giving them a new lease of life.
Best Pickles for This Pickle Hack
For this pickle hack, I prefer to use fresh mini cucumbers. They are smaller and similar in size most store-bought pickles. However, English cucumbers will also work. Simply cut the cucumbers into bite-sized slices.
How to Make Homemade Pickles with Pickle Juice
Once you’ve finished up a jar of your favorite pickles, simply chop up the cucumbers and fully submerge them in the remaining pickle juice. Refrigerate for one week before enjoying. I’ve tried less resting time than that and they’re still good. However, the pickles will reach their peak flavor at around one week when all the flavors have really had time to meld.
