  1. Waste nothing, want nothing. More of a method than a recipe, to use up jarred pickle brine. Love the results, and for a minimum of fuss.
     
  2. I have been doing this for years! I love Pickles but don't want to make them and can them myself. This is a wonderful and thrifty way to make your own "homemade" Pickles! Thanks for sharing.
     
  3. I actually just did this a few weeks ago and was quite pleased with the results, but next time I will add more spices, since the flavor of the brine is a bit weaker. They tasted (and crunched) best after about 5 days. I used lemon cucumbers (the round yellowish kind).

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>September 15, 2007: Here's a photo of me and my two girls before leaving our hotel room to go to an Avett Brothers concert. We're all huge fans of the group. We're also huge fans of each other. It's fun to have adult children. <br /> <br /> <br />--- About me: I'm an artist, and art teacher to kids kindergarten age through 8th grade. My life whirls at a breakneck pace. I teach approximately 800 students, and have 30 different classes each week. It's crazy!!! The rewards, however, are the numerous hugs and good vibes I get from my students. If I didn't have my good-looking husband to stabilize me, I'd surely be sporting a straight-jacket. Oh, and did I mention my yarn obsession? I've made hundreds of crochet items in the past few months, and have a little shop on etsy. Check out my website when you have the time:</p> 8754768"
