Brine water -- what are some creative uses for it when left over?

what are some creative uses for the leftover brine water?

Soup broth and boiling vegetables, but don't use just the brine or it can come out too salty! It's also good for the liquid to cook meat in a crock pot.

I just drink it sometimes. I also use it for cocktails.

If it is meat brine, discard it. It is not recommended to reuse it.

Sauerkraut juice is a great natural brine which is loaded with bacteria. Use it next time to jump start fermentation. reusing a part of product for making a new batch has been practiced for centuries. Bread, cheese, meat, sauerkraut, any naturally fermented product can be used whether it contains brine or not. This practice is called back slopping.

I like to use some in my salad dressing, as an option, when I have extra. Salad dressing consists of: red wine vinegar/cider vinegar, pickle juice, garlic, dill, water, sugar, maggi flavoring, w/ other options like Dijon mustard, lemon juice, brine,etc. in a 1.5 Qt. container, olive oil and spices added separately.

Make Trashy Ranch dressing with it...

I dump it on our dirt road and the bees go nuts over the patch for a couple years.
