Save that extra pickle juice!
I always thought it was a shame to throw out all that extra pickle juice. So when someone posted in a Facebook group about other uses for pickle juice, I took notice. And then did a little more research.
An old roommate of mine had mixed in pickle juice in mash potatoes and it was yummy.
My husband drinks it right out of the jar.
