Hello everyone,

I am canning Sweet Gherkins tonight and have ended up with left over brine/juice.  I also have left over pickles (un-brined).  What do you think about chopping up the pickles add some chopped onion and grn pepper -adding enough brine to cover and canning it as relish.  The ingredients are similar for a sweet pickles relish that I have but obviously the process is off because I am using the left over brine.  I though about letting it marinade over night.  Any thought's on this?  Has anyone done this or similar?  Think it will work?

Thanks Ross -just the confirmation I needed.  And you're right "cucumbers".  I've just been in serious pickle mode.  Thought I was done, but it looks like I'll be doing relish tomorrow.  I even ended up with too many spears cut from making dill pickles.  Oh well, better too many than not enough.
