I work at an Eastern European restaurant so naturally we have a lot of pickle brine remaining. If the brine is any good, you can use it to “repickle” something - we heat it back up and pour over new vegetables. This works if the brine is particularly strong. You can use it to add acidity to soups and salads like you might with vinegar. I’ve also heard you can marinate meat with it, though I’ve never tried it. You can also start enjoying pickle backs or martinis with pickle brine.

Something fairly easy, but super delicious and rewarding to eat. (Cutting into fun shapes is necessary) I used 3 cups water, 2 1/2 cups of vinegar, 2 tsp of salt, and 2 tsp of sugar for the brine. (I like mine a bit on the sweeter side, but I’ve heard sugar is optional) The fun part is the customization of what veggies you want in there. My choice was cucumber, radish, daikon, red onion, and carrot. The final touches to help with flavoring were garlic, pepper corn, dill, and Thai chilis. (highly recommend the chilis if you like a lil spice) I wonder what combo I‘ll try next.
