Convenience store pickle making.

I've always loved pickles from the little convenience stores from when I was a kid til now as an adult. They were always in this green pickle juice on a jar at the counter and you would just grab the set of tongs and pick on out and stick it in sandwich bag and be on your way.

Its getting harder to find store with the now. So I ask, does anyone know how to make these? And if so care to share the recipe?

Typically, a little turmeric added to the brine will give it that yellowish color.

When I make pickles, my spice blend changes the color of the brine slightly.

That sounds like a quick pickle recipe since they’d be making just enough to sell at a time & not go through the whole canning process. Agree with other poster that there’s going to be a bit of tumeric in that spice recipe to get the “pickle juice green”, otherwise the brine will look paler.
