Salty pickles help!!!!!!!

Question: I canned bread and butter pickles tonight and had enough brine left over to stick some more cucumbers in the pot. So I did. Well the pickles in this batch are to salty. Is it ok to take out the brine and repack them in and new brine after rinsing for excess salt. There are 6 quarts. Or should I throw them out and start over. I was in a hurry cause it was getting late and I have been at it all day. It seems that sometimes I get overconfident cut corners and then get bad results also brine is cloudy in the jars. Any help is appreciated

Greetings, Don't throw them out, try what you mentioned above, they should be less salty if placed in water for a short time before eating.
I remember making Onion Soup, to which I added too much salt, there was no getting it out, I just would never add that much salt as we did that day. Have a great one.
