PICKLEBACK SLAW

Those artisanal pickles from the farmers' market sure are expensive, so don't throw out the juice in which they're pickled. You can serve the stuff as a shot to accompany a glass of whiskey and a cold beer, as the New York chef Zakary Pelaccio has done, or you can whisk it into the dressing used for coleslaw, as is done here. Don't have any? Never fear: a few tablespoons of relish from the market will offer a similar effect.

This recipe used to be printed on the Old Bay® cans, but it was removed a decade or more ago; it is very different than the one on the current Old Bay website. I much prefer this one and even today occasionally see a posting from someone looking for the old recipe from the Old Bay can. Well, here it is!
