omg! i drink pickle juice too...after gobble up the pickles. really, pickle juice is just a vinegar brine. find a pickle recipie (i don't have my recipie book with me, so i cant share mine) and just boil up the brine. also, remember that such large amounts of vinegar may not be good for your stomach.

My uncle did. They say cider vinegar is good for you.

mmm.... a bite of American cheese-and-mayo-on-squishy-white-bread sandwich followed by a sip of pickle juice and then a crunch of potato chips --- BLISS!

Pickle juice is good for upset stomachs too I've heard. I loved pickle juice soaked potato chips! Orange juice soaked ones for that matter too!

| I can't make cole slaw without pickle juice. What we do with the pickle juice left in the jar is drop in boiled eggs. In a couple of days you have pickled eggs. I don't think I would want to drink the juice. Mainly because of the salt. But sure don't let any of it go to waste. |

Lainey -- they make dill pickle flavored chips -- they're not quite as good as actual pickle juice on chips, but they'll do in a pinch!

my family starts with peanutbutter pickle sandwiches and then moves on to the juice...
some diced pickles and a splash of juice really livens up sloppy joes too.

My father drinks pickle juice every day. He's 94 and has more energy than I do. Maybe I should start drinking it.....
