Instructions:
-
Prep the cheese: Unwrap the string cheese sticks and place them in a clean, airtight container or jar.
-
Add flavor (optional): If using extras like garlic or red pepper, toss them into the jar.
-
Pour pickle juice: Cover the cheese completely with pickle juice. Seal the container.
-
Marinate:
-
Minimum soak: 3 days for a subtle pickle flavor (as you tried).
-
Longer soak: 5–7 days for a stronger, tangier taste.
-
Enjoy: Remove with a clean fork and pat dry if desired. The texture stays perfectly stringy!
Tips:
-
Use full-fat string cheese for the best texture (low-fat may get mushy).
-
For a quick version, soak 24 hours—flavor will be milder.
-
Try with different pickles (bread & butter for sweetness, spicy pickles for heat).
Let me know how the longer soak turns out—I’m curious if the flavor intensifies! Happy snacking! 🧀🥒
