How to Transfer Liquid When Pickling

Your homemade pickling solution adds flavor to the items you're pickling. That's why it's important that you try to keep as much of the pickling liquid as possible when transferring from one jar to the other. Knowing how to transfer your pickling liquid doesn't take much time, but a steady hand is necessary so you don't lose the liquid.
