Why you’ll love these pickle gummies

I’m a pickle lover through and through. Whether it be my pickle chicken salad, or pickle ground chicken burgers, I just love it.

Recently, an idea popped into my head to make pickle gummies! Literally pickle juice in gummy form. I know that this idea is going to be super polarizing. There are a lot of pickle haters that just won’t get it, but that’s okay, because it’s for my pickle lovers!

So if you love pickles, here’s why you’ll love these gummies too…

  • Pickle juice is rich in electrolytes! Pickle juice is high in sodium which means it’s high in electrolytes to rehydrate you! (source)
  • Pickle juice is great for muscle soreness. This is another benefit of the electrolytes.
  • A pickle lover’s dream. Seriously, if you love pickles, this is such a fun snack to have on hand and share.

Step Two. Use a dropper to transfer the gummy mixture into a mold.

Step Three. Allow to set in the fridge for a few hours or overnight before carefully removing.

Michelle’s Tips & Tricks

  • Balance the flavor with water. If you prefer to balance the pickle flavor, use 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup pickle juice for a milder flavor. 
  • Add a coating. These would be really fun to coat in Tajin for spice!

Keep in mind that these are high in sodium

Yes, pickle juice is indeed high in sodium, so I wouldn’t eat this whole batch at once. I recommend eating just a few at a time!

Storage Instructions

Store the pickle gummies in the fridge for 5-7 days.
