Where do you get your pickle juice?

I’ve heard a lot about drinking pickle juice to replenish electrolytes. So, can you buy just pickle juice? My husband has made a rule that I can’t drink the juice until at least half of the pickles are gone. I guess he is tired of having dry pickles.

Yes, this is a real problem! I used to make my own pickles back in the day, I suppose you could just boil up some of your favorite dill pickle recipe, put it in a jar and voila!

From the jar that I swear still had pickles in it last time I looked. :slight_smile:

Don’t they add sugar to pickles?

#5

Not all pickles or even most, read the ingrdients

#6

Mostly a myth from what I’ve seen.

Only from the fattest and happiest grass-fed pickles.

I’m the only pickle eater so straight from the jar but I do ensure the pickles are covered!
I’ve seen pouches of pickle juice in the produce section but have not investigated them as a source.

Would olive brine work as pickle juice does?

Lemme tell ya - and I’ll give it to you straight. I chain those pickles to a cement wall down in my basement, and I turn the spotlights on them, really question 'em hard, not like you see in the movies, worse than that; really put the squeeze on 'em.

In all seriousness though, pickles are not a complex recipe. Why not just make your own?

Ha! Cheers, Dread… :slightly_smiling_face:

That’s exactly what I do. Works great!

For me it’s brine from home fermented vegetables, which has juice from sauerkraut added. Usually I just add sea salt and small amount of apple cider vinegar to my water.
