The juice is what you need (just a tablespoon or so) to introduce life to rescue a cream sauce from cloying or to lift the spirits of a salad dressing. I also include ready-made sauerkraut in mine, too. (We are not talking long-term storage here.) You can use allspice instead of juniper, mustard seeds in place of coriander, and lead the pickling liquor in whatever direction you choose - east (star anise and clove), south (chillies and garlic) or north (juniper and dill). It gives the opportunity to increase the salt or decrease the sugar as you wish. I make my own refrigerator pickles, though not all the time. The pickles - carrot, cucumber, radish, maybe some strips of cabbage - but also the pickle juice itself, the astringent potion of vinegar and spice.
