BellaOnline Forums Money Frugal Living Save That Pickle Juice!

Unless you really need the jars for something else, in which case I would wash them in bleach water, rinse them well, and maybe even boil them afterwards.........well, just ditch the whole thing, jar and all if you can.

I agree. Some molds are beneficial and some are extremely toxic; it's best not to take a chance.

I am just leaving the jars alone right now under the porch. I will update if (i mean when) i ever deal with them.

I really need a real sized fridge if i want to re-use pickle juice in stuff. I don't see that happening - I like my little dorm-sixed fridge.

Now a chest freezer might be cool. Used from craigslist of course.

Aha. I now have an empty jar of pickle juice (parents used it up while here). What shall i put in it? I need to re-read this thread for ideas.

The produce i have kicking around is lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, garlic, fennel, some herbs, grape leaves and bananas.

I could go buy something more usable with the food stamps - like cuckes, also. Maybe do cukes and garlic and onions with some of my herbs? I have fennel, margoram, basil, chives, garlic chives and lemon thyme, along with a few wild greens and foraged peppercorns.

Any of the cooks here have a plan for me? I am not a cook, for those of you just joining us.

How about eggs? Pickled eggs are nice.

Right, eggs. I know people do that. I would not eat pickled eggs, but i am fussy about squishy foods.

I love pickled jalapeno juice. It flavors sandwiches and sides nicely.
