So I was heard someone saying once that they took the old jar and old pickling juice from a store bought pickle jar and re-used it. By this I do NOT mean a mason jar with homemade pickling juice in it. I mean they took like a dill pickle commercially made pickle jar with the juice in, and then they stuck new cucumber slices in the same jar. They re-used the same juice and kept it to make new pickles. And supposedly it turned out fine and safe. And works.
I wondered if others have done this? And how long is it safe to re-use that same old pickle juice in that jar? That was my main concern, is how long is it not too long to re-use that juice for? If you are like us we don't open a jar of pickles right away from the store. I might buy 2 or 3 jars. Then use one with the others as reserves in the pantry for 4 to 6 months before opening them. And that works fine. But it means that its already a bit older before I'd even be re-using that old pickle juice... so I think i should get a few opinions on this.
Thank you.
