picklel juice for eggs and meat

[mom-from-missouri]

Next time you finish a bottle of pickles, save the juice. If you like pickled eggs, make your own. Its easy--Peel hard boiled eggs, and add them to the bottle. Keep in the refrigerator. It will take about a week to pickle the eggs. (The juice can only be used 1 time for this)
You can also save the pickle juice and marinate tough porkchops with it. Just soak the chops in the juice in the refrigerator over night, before cooking. Saves having to buy meat tenderizer.

Yes, save the juice. I like to pack the jar with fresh cucumber slices, letting them marinate in the pickle juice (refrigerated) for a day or so -- these wont keep like regular pickles, but they have a good fresh, dilly taste that's tasty in salads, etc.

For those of us who eat tofu, I often marinate tofu chunks in leftover pickle juice, packing them in the pickle jar (again, refrigerated) for a day or so also. These are then good in recipes, salads, snacking, etc....

Lastly, I posted in my savings journal a few months ago a link for a 'Dill Bread' I found on the internet, that calls for a whole cup (!) of pickle juice: http://www.breadmachinedigest.com/re...ye_bread.tx t
