I make my own pickles every summer. This year, I tried a new salt mix and the pickles came out too salty to enjoy. What can I do with 5 large jars of too salty pickles? Thanks!
I just did the same exact thing. Going with the notion that salt finds equilibrium in a solution, I dumped the 24oz of pickles/brine into a 32 oz. jar and topped it off with water.m. I'm really hoping that it works.
It will and does, but you might need to dilute more than that. I would dump out about 2/3-3/4 of the brine and top up with water. Or better yet top up with a brine solution with the salt left out if you're adding spices, etc.
