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.

[@dhansonranch]

There are many variations on this basic brine...but for 24 eggs use 1 1/2 c vinegar, 1/2 c sugar, 1/4 tsp pickling spice, 3/4 c water and 1/2 tsp salt. Bring brine to boil and pour over eggs. If you want to make the pickled eggs as in this video just substitute accordingly. I make basic and just use eggs and onions, but some of these variations look interesting. I use my "cracked" eggs for pickled eggs and they work fine, they can look a little funny sometimes though.

[@nicolekinna9171]

For my pickled eggs, I do the sweeter one with beets. Usually use 18-24 eggs.!Take your beets (if you get them in a store, drain liquid into saucepan.) and eggs and add to jar with lid. On stove, add 2c apple cider vinegar, 1c of sugar, 20 or so whole cloves, and juice from beets if you have. Heat just enough to dissolve sugar. Pour over your eggs and beets. Of course, you can always add less sugar. Yummmmm!!

[@metamud8686]

If you watch the video, you will see at least four recipes demonstrated...

[@spacedustsupertramp]

Could you do a Cowboy Candy version or is that pretty much the jalapeno one you made?!

[@kgardennerd]

If chopping those peppers burned your hands add some lavender oil and vanilla extract to some water and soak your hands. Otherwise burning sensation from the pepper oils can burn for days. Ask me how I know.

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.

When I was in Alaska, we used the eggshells when we went ice fishing and threw the eggshells into the hole in the ice. The shells would sink to the bottom of the lake and we would lay on an air mattress, cover our heads, and the sun would reflect off the eggshells on the bottom of the lake, We looked down the hole and see dolly varden swim by. They looked like ghosts and we would just snag them as they swam by.

[@lindasummer2343]

A couple of things that might help speed up the process when you are doing that much volume would be to get a large wire mesh strainer, the kind Chinese use when they are deep frying, they are handheld with a handle and look like a spiderweb. Or you can get a strainer insert like the kind that comes for spaghetti that you just put down in the pot and when your food is finished you can just pull it straight out and all the liquid strains out. The strainer insert can also be used when you make bone broth and you can pull your bones and anything else that you put in straight out and you’re left with straight broth.

[@dogsinolga]

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.

[@cwinter-powers669]

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...

Don’t use beet water, just add a few slices of beet. It will color them up just fine. Melt the salt and sugar in just warm vinegar, add in spices after you pull it off the heat. Put the spices into the jars and at least 2 slices of beet in each jar. This makes 3 pints if you have enough hard boiled quail egg. About 15-20 per pint, depending on size. Refrigerate one week.

Yes even through rough times....I still envy (good way) your lifestyle!💕👍

[@abuskeleke3378]

Seriously guys you got me sold! Another great video, easy, straightforward and interesting, no bull!

[@alexisj7897]

So I’m pregnant and I watched the video a few days ago and have not stopped thinking about these eggs 😅😂🥲

[@TheLobsterBurger]

Did you ever get your eggs? 🤔

[@dkush1918]

What even is a KZbin algorithm. I've never eaten pickled eggs, now I want some. Subscribed!!

[@jurjana5460]

[@krissy012p]

Me too! 😅

[@lauranewell3197]

Right?!? I'm gonna make some tomorrow!!

[@timmylongstroke7812]

You two are soulmates, great show.

[@wanderingnomad1]

Great color combinations , very fancy looking jars.

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!!!!

[@cherryblossom15]

Talk about it!

[@djamilamarouf7027]

I would love this kind of life but my body will never survive the cold 🥶

[@projecthardskinned5846]

Start living it and the girl will come after.

[@cynthiacynthia5952]

Come and get me!

[@projecthardskinned5846]

I rest my case!🤣

[@soapsoilandsunshine3241]

I pickled my first eggs (quail) last week. Never eaten them before. When I decided to pickle them I searched KZbin and your video was the first hit. Been a huge fan ever since and subscribed straight away. Keep up the great work.

[@lindaSee89]

I love pickled eggs. Thank you for adding 15 minutes water bath.

[@zonenuke]

Something special about watching egg pickling in the snow :)

[@billierenshaw3302]

I have NEVER seen a couple work so well together …on EVERYTHING 🥰 love your channel ❤️😘

[@eppyminecart7319]

Just as a heads up for taking eggshells off you can put an egg in a jar with a little bit of water and you can shake the jar and get the shells right off in seconds

[@susanolague7841]

WOW! I made the Asian pickled eggs!! AMAZING!! Thank you for sharing!

[@saffrondominic4585]

Guys, you made this looks so easy; wow! love it. Thank you🙏

[@grennhald]

I really enjoy 50/50 balsamic with a bit of sugar and a pinch of salt. Eggs go black after a few weeks. They're great!

[@andrewsandoz6655]

One of my favorite channels on KZbin these days. Thank you for sharing.

[@mariebyers3636]

Thank you so much for sharing, this looks amazing! What an achievement to make so many eggs at one time. Love and Light. 😊

[@yesyesxx]

Wow !! Beautiful..!! Thank You..!!❤👍🏼

[@Misterbillll]

I'm gonna make 50 pickled eggs tomorrow just because I watched you and learned....love watching your channel

[@GamerswithSlime]

I made all four kind of pickled eggs you showed, my husband and I impatiently waited 2 weeks and then tried the Asian style. OHMYGOSH, so good, both the eggs and the veggies in it were so much more flavorful than I thought they would be, I can't wait to try all the others!

[@ananyaakap]

Hey, I want to try this recipe. Could you please share what kind of climate you have in the area where you live? I live in a tropical/semi arid area, so I just wanted to compare the results..

[@rhondadavis5387]

I made them also, I haven't tried them yet, do they all have to be refrigerated once in jars at all times? Help.

[@everythinghomestead9222]

@@ananyaakap I live in the PNW - so lots of rain, our summer temps are about 70 degrees, winter temps dip below freezing a bit. If you keep them in your fridge you will have no worries in a tropical climate. If you keep them on your shelves, I would water bath for 15 minutes like they say in their first egg pickling video (they have 2 out now). That way they can be shelf stable. But the amount of vinegar is the determining factor and what has made them safe to keep on shelves over the centuries. The higher the vinegar content, the safer it is stored. Half vinegar and half water is a potent brine, but some recipes call for straight vinegar and no water (beet and egg recipes use the beet juice). THAT pickled egg will be very tart, and basically impossible to spoil unless they bob up above the surface of the liquid - always keep them below the liquid with some type of glass weight. I use the tops to scented candles - they are solid glass and heavy, I can fit them in larger jars (like a large pickle jar) but not canning jars. They sell glass weights for canning jars - mainly for fermenting but you could use them for the eggs. Sterilize the glass by boiling. Good luck - if you have questions let me know. I noticed you've asked several times but no one has replied to you.

[@lifeinsully1287]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching your video. Thank you!

[@ii3rdii345]

Awesome stuff you guys. I absolutely loveee pickled eggs ! Cheers

[@F-J.]

You could put all the eggs in a COTTON pillow case and lower them in. Then pull them out at the same time and put them in the snow. Save time.

[@whiteheart6827]

That is brilliant

[@mcmelre]

That is a genius idea!!!

[@lauranewell3197]

That's brilliant! Now if only I had that kind of snow so I could do that...then again, I'm not doing that many eggs at once either

[@daleolson3506]

Would used underwear work?I have ones with one racing stripe,and others with2. Lol

[@robdigman7596]

Brilliant. I was thinking a spider or pasta strainer insert. Pillow cases makes loading and unloading ,cooking, and cooling easiest.

[@salt6062]

Growing up my grandmother always made pickled eggs with beets, when ever we went to visit her you could always look forward to 2 things; a ton of pickled eggs, and a ton of macaroni salad... nobody cooks like grandma did, good stuff :)

[@KimofCoventry]

Love them and make them. I grew up in Ohio. Guessing you, or grandma, are from there or PA, possibly another close state?

To me the most impressive matter happening here is the partnership. I wish that I had a female friend wife and partner to do any kind of projects together. You guys are so blessed to be together, realize that, value that and forever cherish that union. By the way I have no interest in pickles eggs, the only reason I clicked on the video was to compare two tablets am testing the display quality and your video looked sharp and crisp so it made out for a good test, the snow in the back for white balance, the texture in the wood planks, your skin color, all factors to be compared.

Love your style! Just got my first chickens, now I'm counting eggs before they lay haha. Can't wait to get to the point where I'm preserving the extra eggs. God bless!

[@kathycrawford8777]

I use steak seasoning in my pickled eggs. Makes it super simple. Just vinegar, water, onion, and the seasoning. They turn out great and they never last long.
