Leftover vinegar from pickles

NewShadow

Is it disgusting that i tend to drink it? at least beetroot pickle.

Alternatively you can put it in your hm tomato soup with a little sugar to make it taste like heinz.

My Mum used to drink it too...yeugh!

I used to add beetroot vinegar to one of my curries, but for the life of me, can't remember which one.

NewShadow I would happily drink beetroot vinegar from a pickle jar, it is delicious.

Speaking of which, a good OS friend gave me a few jars of pickled onions and the first jar has been eaten, but after reading your responses I pickled 3 cooked and sliced beetroots with the leftover vinegar. I just heated it up and covered the tightly packed slices of beetroot with it. Can't wait to taste them!

I also made fermented pickles, finely sliced cabbage, grated beetroot, carrot and one kohl rabi, added caraway and fennel seeds and a few peppercorns, a good shake of sea salt and pummelled it all until it started releasing water. Then I bottled the mix into two kilner type jars, topped by rolled cabbage leaves to keep the veg below the liquid. Should be ready in 2-3 weeks if I leave it out, 4-5 weeks if I put it in the fridge.

Thanks so much for this thread. It never occurred to me to use it for salad dressings or even down the loo. Brilliant! I am never pouring it down the sink again.
