If you have a fridge groaning with random jars and containers, each containing a single pickle or a couple of cubes of feta, then congratulations, you have treasure. @Eater's Sarra Sedghi writes about how you can use brine and vinegar from preserved foods as the basis of dressings and marinades, or just to add zing to any dish.

Yes, You Can Cook With Pickle Brine

Leftover brine from pickled and fermented foods like capers, pickles, and feta can be used many different ways in cooking.

Our process photos are on my Mom's phone so I'll upload those later in week. This is what they look like - after fermentation for over 10 months.

Put up 2 #ferments today, #tomatoes and #tomatillos. Both based vaguely on the #Russian cherry #tomato #ferment in Linda Ziedrich's Joy of #Pickling.

Lots of aromatic #herbs, no #spices to speak of.

The great marmalading of 2022. This was the second batch Dad and I made from our neighbours orange tree. He even bought some pretty new jars as we’d already used up the recycled ones.

Just because we were discussing #marmalade yesterday 😄
