If anyone would be willing to share their pickled egg recipes with me I would be very honored. I would love to start picking eggs for this coming winter and to have through out the year.

If someone told me I'd watch 21 minutes of egg pickling even though I've never eaten one, I'd have said they're crazy. But I just did and thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you 🙂 Subscribing!

An older lady who raised chickens since the depression once told me...bake you eggs shells before feeding them back...like at 225 degrees, then crush.
The baking changes the smell and texture enough that the birds won't start eating their own eggs because of it.
I bake until starting to turn golden...

Everything about this makes me want to cry. The cold. The snow. Peeling 350 eggs. I do love a pickled egg, tho.

Boiling Multiple Eggs Pro Tip: Use cheese cloth as a net to dunk them in & pull them out all at once

I miss my grandmother. She had her own farm. Hens. Cows. Pigs. Fruits. Veggies. Baked the best bread. Pickled and canned everything. She was amazing. May she RIP.

Christmas eggs:
Smoke eggs making sure to keep them far away from the heat so that they are cooked by the smoke. Smoke until the egg is fully cooked the Eggshells should look like wood. Peel eggs and pickle them in beet juice. The result is a sweet smokey tasting egg that has a red colored white from the beets and a green colored yellow from the smoke. I personally like hickory smoke for my eggs.

My gran used to pickle her own eggs,every time I would go visit her during my pregnancy she would have a jar waiting. Then dementia started she couldn't remember the recipe, or would forget to seal the jars . In the end I would buy them from the shop and sneak them in to her house so we could enjoy them

Dang it, only ten more eggs and it could've been said that your egg preservation... Has come full circle.

The way he uses snow is like whole Alaska is a fridge for him.

I am PA Dutch/German heritage and the Red beet eggs were a staple all through my childhood years. They are beyond belief for flavor and filling you up. My grandma would make 6 or 7 dozen every November and they were part of the quick energy food available when you would go to her house to sled or shovel snow. A great memory. Thanks for making me think about it.

I wish I could find a girl that would like to live like this. These people are some of the richest people in the world in my opinion!!!!

When it's -20 and a blizzard is outside, there's nothing like a pickled egg to add to your misery.

@rachelannbarkley2329 3 years ago

I've never thought of pickling an egg in my life, and now my brine is on the stove. I loved your video.

I surely would like to taste all the varieties that you made! I had a Chinese housemate who would shake her head at me for hard-boiling a couple of eggs to take with me on the ferry. She finally insisted on making Tea Eggs for me. You boil 4 or 5 eggs in water and add black tea [lots] then you gently tap the eggs until they start to crack. You also add Star of Anise, Salt, Sugar if you want, Pepper. Your goal with cracking the eggs is to have all kinds of cracks so as they cook the spices seep in. You also do not want to over cook. Then let sit for a bit in the hot liquid. A good breakfast or snack. [My housemate was in the U.S. to learn English. She was a chef back home and I was treated to several unbelievable meals.
