  2. HungryNation says:

    A brine is a solution of water combined with salt, vinegar, and/or sugar to raise the acidity of the liquid high enough to preserve whatever food is put in that brine – while killing off any bad bacteria that could thrive on the food.

    The most basic brine is a salt brine, which is about 1.73 oz of pickling salt to 1 gallon of water (check on that – I’m doing this off the top of my head!).

    Yeah…Humphrey wasn’t a fan of pickle-making, unfortunately. Not enough meat involved :)

    When you finish a jar of pickles (homemade or storebought) don’t throw out the brine, slice some more veggies up and put them in. Store in fridge and eat after a week or so. Try sliced raw beets – yum. Also hot peppers sliced in rounds, remove seeds 1st. Yum yum.
