Making pickled quail eggs - Southern style

Making southern style mild and spicy pickled quail eggs. This method requires refrigeration, this is not canning. Great for snacking ... enjoy!

[@bhupindersingh-ov5jp]

I love your this quails eggs recipe ❤ Me from India I fallowed your quails recipe given to quails for more Proteins. Thanks you Brother

[@SpYucaipaSoCal]

I like your style. Just a good old boy with a garage full of quail.

[@DanielRosa-wj5fc]

Thanks for the tip on making peeling easier! I have enjoyed your videos and am now brooding my first quail hatchlings.

[@folsterfarms]

Terry SERIOUSLY???? I’ve been struggling with peeling these little rascals since I started with quail. Thank you for the “life-changing” egg peeling tip, and the great recipe, too. It really is the little things that make all the difference LOL!

..thanks for sharing this easy recipe..

[@jessicasamra8037]

I followed your recipe and they are really good! First time pickling quail eggs and definitely hooked now. 😃 Thanks

Great video.

Thanks Terry will be trying this

[@RehoKevin]

They look good, I'll be giving this a try. Thanks Terry.

[@CoturnixCorner]

You'll love em!

[@jilltheprivateinvestigator3328]

They are DELICIOUS!!! Considering they're are delicacy, it's cheaper to make them at home, than to buy them. I finally found them at my local Walmart and they were $10 for approximately TEN eggs! 😳

[@cliffordpace6921]

Great stuff, Thanks!

[@CoturnixCorner]

Glad you liked it!

[@reneebrown2968]

The only reason you use sea salt or kosher salt is the regular iodized salt will make the liquid foggy. It doesn't change the taste at all.

[@nccrchurchunusual7990]

Thx Terry. Pickled eggs are a great southern snack. Living traditions channel has a recipe too. I am trying different versions.

[@shannonrobinson262]

They will peel easier if you peel underwater in a big bowl after you shake them. Just tried this☺️thanks for the recipe. I was out of pickling spice, so I used 1 tsp of old bay. Just refrigerating mine as they’re in an old plastic peanut butter jar. Can’t wait to see how they turn out.

How did it go?

[@elenakurus2010]

Very yams

[@shannonrobinson262]

I love adding beets to pickled eggs. As it pickles, you see the color go further into the eggs

[@stephanginther9051]

It adds a surprisingly nice flavor too. Not to mention that beats are crazy good for you.

[@jilltheprivateinvestigator3328]

Walmart has a hot sauce that isn't really hot, just flavorful. One trick I learned from a man that had been doing it for years, add a good amount of the Great Value Louisiana hot sauce. It's WONDERFUL if you like spicy pickled quail eggs. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜☺️

[@williamjohnson6152]

Thank you

[@nickdershem9357]

If you flip the jar upside down the heat from the mix will seal the jar and the button on lid will stay down. I actually just tried it and it works

[@CoturnixCorner]

Thanks for the tip!

[@JNoMooreNumbers]

Not recommended. Could be a false seal. Been canning 30 years though these just go in fridge unless you process in a water bath.

[@joannathesinger770]

@@JNoMooreNumbers You know...my mother and grandmother...and likely my great-grandmother...canned by inverting the jars on pickled items and jams...and all lived to ripe old ages, as did all who ate their products. I would never recommend it for non-acid foods, but for jams, preserves, and pickled items, it should be fine. Other countries in various parts of the world outside the USA STILL can high-acid foods this way. As you are probably aware, we are moving into a time when canning supplies are scarce, and nigh unto impossible to get, and likely to be more so...and with the additional food shortages, we may have to bend a few of the USDA canning rules in order to preserve our foods...like--gasp--reusing lids more than once and using methods the USDA deems controversial, yet no other place in the world does. We have ears, eyes, and noses, and we should USE them. Listen for an audible vacuum-release when opening a jar, look to see if there is odd discoloration, and smell the product. If in doubt, toss it out. That's what my mother and grandmother worked off of. A high-acid food is extremely unlikely to contain botulism, particularly if it's been heat-processed.

[@marleennijland4244]

Adding some baking soda to the cold water may make them easy to peel. Works great with chicken eggs.

[@Peter-ld5df]

I tried this technique for shelling the eggs and it helped but I still had a heck of a time. How long did you shake the jar ? I think I was supposed to shake it longer.

[@bernie018]

Looks real good. Did you ever hear of people dropping the raw egg into beer or orange juice?

YUM!!! I pay $10 for a jar of approximately TEN eggs! I need to move to a place where I can raise quail. It would sure save me money, considering it's a delicacy.

[@solventtrapdotcom6676]

I use that same egg peeling trick with all eggs.

[@selfreliantpatriot1776]

Thank you very much for the video. About how long will the quail eggs last after being pickled with this process?

[@TREN_FOR_BREAKFAST]

2 weeks is what they say but id let them go 3 because the vinegar will help preserve them. i wouldnt let them go longer than that

[@maryhill9823]

Do you have this recipe somewhere? They look sooooooo good!

[@corygodley6557]

Watch the video..

[@erikjohnson9223]

I have seen coturnix eggs pickled with the shells on in Oriental markets. Extra calcium, extra crunch I guess.

[@amechelb]

The shells would basically dissolve if soaked in vinegar so I don’t think they would be crunchy. The membranes would also get rubbery so that is interesting. Do you know if they peel them before eating or eat just like that?

[@jakeholland8083]

I imagine that they are limed eggs, otherwise the shells would be eaten away by the acetic acid in the pickling vinegar

[@circa134]

There’s also tea eggs where u boil them and them crack them and boil them more in tea and spice and salt. Then you leave the in the fridge overnight and you can take off the shell and eat them

[@missyrabbit5250]

boil for how long, and what kind of tea? what spice?

No quail eggs here but an influx of bantam eggs and they work for pickled eggs as well since they are aggravating to make omelets with

Can you pickle in the shell and it becomes soft enough to eat

[@DiazGrowsFood]

How long will they keep?

[@josephbastianpillai5958]

Can.we use plastic bottle & plastic lid.please let us know.Thanks

[@joshuakeegwell2896]

Put as many eggs that fit in a Callender or mesh strainer. Place on top or inside pot with 1 to 2 inches of water. You dont want eggs touching water. Cover with a lid and steam for 10 to 15 mins 20 mins for chicken eggs Eggs will be cooked and peel like a dream.

[@TheDiligentSoul]

I will try this!!

[@jilltheprivateinvestigator3328]

Cut down the vinegar?! Fine Sir, are you ok? Vinegar is the best thing EVER! The more the merrier! ☺️💜

[@randycox9835]

I store my eggs unwashed. If they are basically clean, I just rinse them before boiling. Is it recommended to do the full cleaning with soap and the diluted bleach prior to boiling or does the boiling take care of it for you? thx

[@CoturnixCorner]

Yes, the boiling will kill any bacteria that may be on the eggshell.

[@autumnkalvan6322]

How long before you can eat them... and how long do they last?

[@CoturnixCorner]

I usually let them sit for a week to 10 days before eating. As long as they are refrigerated they will last several weeks.

[@SpeckledShells]

Is it recommended to dispose of the brine after eating all of the eggs in the jar? I’m guessing reusing the brine is not advised?

[@manlaienhbold5102]

how long can you preserve this ??

[@JNoMooreNumbers]

3 to 4 months in fridge I believe. Some water-bath can them. I haven't tried or know if safe.

[@rehanasfashionhouse302]

What was last red liquid one??

[@CoturnixCorner]

It has beet juice in it which gives it a red coloration.

[@missyrabbit5250]

do you boil the mason jars before using?

[@joannathesinger770]

As long as they are clean and sterile, they don't have to be boiled. Some canners use straight out of their dishwasher after the jars have gone through a sterilization cycle. Some place in the oven at 200°F for at least 20 minutes and pull them out one or two at a time.

[@missyrabbit5250]

@@joannathesinger770 thank you

[@trichard5106]

What does the beet juice do?

[@joannathesinger770]

Colors the outside of the egg pink. The longer it sits in the pink brine, the deeper the color will penetrate into the egg.

[@cockeyedhomestead]

A canning funnel would work better than pouring the hot liquid into the measuring cup.

Refrigerator

[@jilltheprivateinvestigator3328]

If you don't seal them, definitely put them in the refrigerator.
