I have heard that pickle juice e is the cure for nighttime leg cramps. Freezing the juice would keep you supplied.

Sounds interesting! Had fried pickles, today, with ranch dressing, and they were delicious!

No I have not. But I would try one. I like pickles and pickle juice. I guess we could make one lol. My sister picks the lemons from her tree and squeezes the juice out, puts it in ice trays, and freezes it. She has fresh squeezed lemon juice any time she needs it.

Wow!! Almost fell off my chair when I saw all the responses. Gee Willakers! Thanks everybody. I like the idea of killing something in my yard I don't like. I think Wisteria would be good dead. In NC it is very invasive and has taken over my property. So I'll experiment and see what happens. Don't want to kill any critters. My other thought is too put some baking soda in the drain and pour the vinegar juice over it. But I'm thinking the vinegar is probably too diluted to clean my drain. I'll try a little and see what happens. Well, what can I say? Thanks again. You made my day. Too fun, lindarose

Pickle juice?

Teresa, I have a recipe I have had for many years that I remember using several times, but not in a long time. 1 quart Dill pickles, drained and sliced in 1/4 in. slices Add 2 onions, sliced & separated into rings. Put in large bowl and add: 2 C. sugar 1 T. vinegar 1 1/2 T. whole mustard seed 1 teas. celery seed Stir gently W/wooden spoon. Let set at room temperature until sugar dissolves. Pack in jar and refrigerate 4 days. I'm assuming that meant set for 4 days before using, but as I said, it's been a long time. I think you could add any number of veggies to that. Sweet peppers, (any color), cauliflower, carrots (I'd steam first) etc. I don't see why your sweet pickle juice wouldn't work. I'll be interested to hear what you wind up doing. jude

There is a skating rink here that sells big dill pickles. Then they freeze the juice in little paper cups with a stick in them and sell "picklecicles." How's that for creative thinking? :)

Dill pickle brine (juice) is relatively simple to do yourself, recipes are easily found. By making it yourself (it uses ingredients most kitchens should already have), you avoid some of the typical chemistry set items put into commercial preparations that are really not necessary. Make it in advance, keep in in the fridge, should last for awhile.

I've never heard of those, but they would be great after a hot, sweaty run. People drink pickle juice for the electrolytes, so having it frozen would be a bonus!

I'm not sure whether I'd eat that because of the salt content, but a fried pickle sounds interesting (yes, with the same sodium.)

Raven, we have a lime tree that produces prodigious amounts of limes so hubby froze some in small cubes a few months ago. I've started using them and they are wonderful--we had some sauteed green beans last night and using one cube was perfect.

I've had fried pickles many times and those are great. Love fried green beans and fried brusssel sprouts too!

Sorry if I've mentioned this before but I too have restless leg syndrome and it's been completely eliminated by taking one prescription med (prescribed by my sleep doc) right before bedtime. The drug's primary use is to limit seizures and nerve pain and it's NOT a sleeping pill of any kind - it just happens to also stop nighttime leg twitches. I've been taking it for 15 years - the dosage hasn't changed and it has no other effect on me at all.

The leg twitches did show up in each of the several in-clinic sleep studies I've had. I used to be affected most nights but since I started with this med, I haven't experienced it again, not once. I feel lucky to sleep through the night, almost every night. Check with your doctor. Good luck.

(Pickle juice anything, that's not for me. Sounds like it would be very salty. Lime juice, another story. Perfect for Gin and Tonic cocktails and when cooking fish or other seafood)

I have the prescription medication unfortunately I am not able to take it. If you mean Requip. It negatively affected my heart condition.

No, I take Neurontin, generic name Gabapentin.

I'm not sure if Neurontin does or doesn't have a heart effect but reading about it and Requip in Wiki, they seem to be very different. I'm untrained and uneducated to know or understand the available information but I'm sure a good pharmacist as a first choice or a physician (either of whom knowing what you're taking) can provide insight for you. Better yet, speak to your sleep doc if you see one regularly. It is a treatable condition for most people.

I use the brand version, the generic doesn't work well for me. My sleep doc said more than half of the patients he prescribes it for similarly don't find the generic to be satisfactory, for whatever reason I don't know.
