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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
TH-cam is my window to the world . In India we are having a Covid crisis . My father is positive and in hospital . I watched this and it kinda helped me handle the stress . Thank you
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...
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!
@@rickyjackson1258 Absolutely! 13 minutes steaming is far better than any boiling tips'n'tricks I've ever seen/heard/tried, even from some of the very best chefs in the world.
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.
I have seen almost all of their videos. I love how they both always say...our, us and ours. I don't think I have have ever heard them say I, my and mine. That my friends, is a true couple. They are a MVP team.
I am 63 years old and probably 20 years ago ate some pickled spicey eggs at a bar after working hard all day. They were so good. I've never tried pickling them but thanks to you guys I will be doing it real soon...Thank You for barring the brrr cold to teach us this ...God Bless

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.

Thanks for making me think about it.

Thats some real life Couples goals right there. A man and a woman, sharing the work, preparing for winter. You can see the love in her eyes as she looks over at you while peeling eggs. Its like ive always said... a Simple life is a happy life.

Eric is becoming so much more relaxed on these videos-or maybe he’s just excited about the eggs. But he’s actually funny. You guys are such a great couple.
Hint: My Mom taught me to hit the most rounded bottom part of the egg before pealing. The pocket in that part of the egg that puts air around the egg for easy pealing.
If you have trouble peeling them, it's because they're too fresh. Like these folks in the video said: let 'em sit for at least 2 weeks before boiling them.
We dress like that in the southern states of the U.S. when it's 60 outside.... He said around 35.... Wow. I'm in awe as well! It's the first thing I noticed!
Hahaha Omg. As a Canadian I agree that this is funny 🇨🇦 that’s above zero! People pull out the shorts and flip flops (and joke about going tanning) when they see 0 hahaha and everyone is happy and smiling everywhere cause it feels like winter is finally over.
this is how im trying to be, im praying for my life to get to a point where i can pickle eggs with my wife (i dont have one.... yet). i've never had a pickled egg in my life, but this seems very peaceful, I wish you two nothing but the best, take care.
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.
WOW!! Awesome! Now promise us you won't forget to film your 1st taste reaction of these gems. We are all looking forward to that. Maybe even a live chat? Just a thought.
When I was a kid in Tennessee the local grocery always had a huge jar of pickled eggs and sausages. If I was behaving my mom would get me and egg to eat while I was riding in the grocery cart as she shopped. Of course, the egg often ended up on the floor. Such a fond memory.
My personal favorite are the eggs pickled with beets. That my be because my aunt used to make them that way and we would always eat them when we went to visit. It's been years since I had a pickled egg. One of my favorite things, though, is pickled red onion slices on a hamburger. Yum.
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.
I am so jealous of you guys couple helping each other so sweet. You seldom see that kind of partnership. I never had pickled egg I would love to make for my own someday watching this because my family will do off grid by next year and I want to learn everything for survival. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. Love it!
After the eggs are cooked, you can crack them and put them in them back into cold water for about 10 min. The water will seep between the shell and egg and makes it very easy to peel.
When y'all are peeling the eggs, crack them on your board, then roll them with slight pressure on the board . Makes peeling easier. Used to have to make a few hundred deviled eggs for a brunch buffet as a prep cook decades ago
I feel like I know this young couple. Been watching them for a few years from there old home in lower 48 to how they are thriving today. God bless you guys.
Well one reason might be that they are promoting unsafe food preservation methods that could make someone very very sick. These jars aren't even being processed which means that they are NOT safe for shelf storage.
I love you two and your channel sooo much! My daughter and her boyfriend live in Anchorage. I have a question though. I pickle mostly quail eggs and you are the first people that I have come across that have said that you can actually preserve pickled eggs safely. It was my understanding that you can pickle and refrigerate them them sort term, but NOT preserve them because the vinegar cannot penetrate them because they are too dense. I have sooo many eggs. Can they be preserved???
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
Try this Japanese marinade for eggs: boil equal parts of soy sauce, Japanese Mirin sauce, minced garlic, scallions, & sugar. Plus dash of pepper. Delicious!!! Good as topping for ramen noodles!
I pickled my first eggs (quail) last week. Never eaten them before. When I decided to pickle them I searched TH-cam and your video was the first hit. Been a huge fan ever since and subscribed straight away. Keep up the great work.
When I was young there was a very fancy and expensive restaurant in my city. The maître de was in charge of the coffee. This place was known for its amazing coffee. Got to know him and he shared his secret. He saved the egg shells. They got rinsed then roasted in the oven until beige colour. These were Put on top of the coffee ground along with a few grates of nutmeg and cinnamon. Absolute Heaven.
Interesting. There is a trick when making stock or broth. Putting a few eggshells in whilst cooking will clarify the soup and make it clear instead of cloudy.
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 :)
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.
@@marieince3239 try pickled quail eggs. They are better. I use 1&1/2 cup white vinegar, 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 tsp old bay seasoning, 1 tsp salt, one tsp sugar, and chopped garlic and chili to your taste.. I also add in a sliced roasted beet. 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. Then enjoy till they are all gone I’m told they keep 4 months in he fridge. Mine are long gone by then.
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!
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..
@@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.
If more people had the work ethic of the Amish, kind hearts, and the adventurous spirit of you two, the world would be a perfect place to live. Amazing how important chickens can be for a homestead.
I've been a canner for 60 years. So glad to see the younger folks pick it up. We always pickled eggs as you do till our county extension office reported some incidents of botulism from beet pickled eggs way back in the 70's. Since that time...I have made sure that I water bath AND scrub veggies and I par boil and peel beets and carrots BEFORE adding to any jars since they will likely be the culprit. I just sort of heat it up enough to drive out any oxygen ensuring a good air tight seal. Kind of like one does with a cuke or cauliflower pickle. Do please keep these refrigerated except for serving after opening! I grew up with pickled eggs and pickled bologna in gallon jars sitting out on the counter for snacks. But I put myself thru nursing school working in nutrition dept of hospital and I do NOT recommend attempting this IF you are not clear on what botulism is and how to prevent it. I don't know why my siblings and I are still alive. My grandparents kept all pickles and condiments at room temp in jars for us to eat daily. They also kept dinner left overs on table till supper...covered with a linen tablecloth...except during summer. WE WERE LUCKY. nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_06/pickled_eggs.html
They built up strong immune systems. Fear and sanitizing everything makes us weak in my opinion. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Ye of little faith. Our bodies are amazing. We do have an affect on the outcome. We create our reality. 🤔
@@Ztimeforacoolchange Boutilism toxin is the most deadly in the world. The reason you haven't met anyone who's survived it is because they're all dead.
@@TheRealSly14Cat it's also something you get rid of by properly heating what you eat, if I'm not mistaken? (core temp 85°C [*185°F] for about 5 minutes should do?) My guess would be that people just didn't properly cook what needs cooking when they pickle stuff (e.g. when they forget that it takes quite a while for something to reach that core temp).
I used to get pickled beats from a friend. I would save the brine/juice after we'd eaten all the beats and add boiled eggs to those jars and pickle my eggs that way. They looked amazing with the purple color, and they tasted amazing. This is a great video!
This is the way we do them too. Pickle the beets and once we eat some of the beets out of a jar, put some eggs in. We've never done any other types, but we'll have to try some of these.
My grandparents always fed shells back to chickens used chicken manure in garden. She knew how to use in garden and plowing it over and over she always had a beautiful garden.
The same time we do eggs, we pickle our garden salad mix, Kohlrabi, cauliflower, carrots, onions, radishes, hot Cayenne peppers, garlic, and some herbs and olive oil. 30 one gallon jars last from Thanksgiving to Memorial day. The best veggies to pickle are the cool weather crops.
I use balsamic vinegar in my pickled eggs, they come out delicious! I buy a cheap balsamic vinegar add sugar and salt and equal part of water, no herbs...the flavour of the balsamic vinegar is enough!
My grandmother kept her hens laying all winter by giving them hot water twice a day. Their pan of course would have ice in it and when putting hot water in would be warm for them. I also know a lady who cooks oatmeal for her hens every morning.
I think it's good to let your hens rest over winter and not try to force them to lay. It's the lack of daylight hours that stop them laying. It's natural.
11 years of chickens and I give all their eggs shells back to them that I use, simply crunched with my boot when they land with the kitchen scraps on the ground. Any cracked eggs after laying just get thrown into the run area for them. I have had between 100 chickens and 30 chickens and never had any egg eaters. Can’t wait to try pickled eggs. Great job guys. 🇳🇿
@@bumpsandbliss she just boiled the eggs, peeled them and placed them in the brine in the refrigerator. No heat, and they needed to stay in the fridge. She used the jars the beets and pickles came in.
its verz easy to preserve eggs in a fresh stadium, without cooking them: Put them in a big bottling jar with fresh chalk and some water, so the pores of the eggshell will be occluded and the eggs remain fresh over months, till april, may of the next year. We practiced this back in the 60-ies, 70-ies in Romania, where I come from
Sure was wonderful to see you young people canning pickled eggs I do agree with the Asian ones look yummy much love to the both of you in Alaska and God bless
TH-cam brought me here. I was mesmerized. Not sure why. But I was. I love looking into how life can be so different for different people. The eggs looked really delicious. Waiting 2 weeks must be difficult. Subscribed.
Just watched this video of your Remote Cabin .. Lasting Memories. Really enjoyed .. the videos .. clips of memories in the cabin, your process of putting new stove fireplace, building the steps, the nice outhouse, fishing and caring for your babies 🦮and the hard work of traveling to the cabin and hauling all the stuff you need. Just sad, that your babies are getting older. But you do well in caring for them. Are you planning to sell this property ? So enjoyable to see you both work together and in all your projects ... truly a Teamwork. Nice to see some tender moments between you two .. As a woman, she's a great compliment to Eric and certainly deserved that warm embrace and hug. 🥰😘💖
I bet you guys have a really good relationship, it translates in your body language. Thanks for the video, we need to flood this kind of information out as much as we can. I hope this channel grows to help you guys with your journey.
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.

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

Hint: My Mom taught me to hit the most rounded bottom part of the egg before pealing. The pocket in that part of the egg that puts air around the egg for easy pealing.
If you put your eggs in the pot with the small part down it helps to make the pocket
And roll them
Ah thanks for the tip I will try
If you have trouble peeling them, it's because they're too fresh. Like these folks in the video said: let 'em sit for at least 2 weeks before boiling them.

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.
Please post a demo video!!
Tea eggs are so damn good, just need kimchee for that extra pickled perfection
I am going to have to try this! good to know!
@@ViridianAubergine yummmm!
Used to make tea eggs. It’s an art form as well!
Everything about this makes me want to cry. The cold. The snow. Peeling 350 eggs. I do love a pickled egg, tho.
When it's -20 and a blizzard is outside, there's nothing like a pickled egg to add to your misery.
🤣
Deviled eggs out of those pickled eggs! Yum!
😂😂🤣😂😂
Lmao
I don't know whether to laugh or cry 😝
WOW!! Awesome! Now promise us you won't forget to film your 1st taste reaction of these gems. We are all looking forward to that. Maybe even a live chat? Just a thought.
When I was a kid in Tennessee the local grocery always had a huge jar of pickled eggs and sausages. If I was behaving my mom would get me and egg to eat while I was riding in the grocery cart as she shopped. Of course, the egg often ended up on the floor. Such a fond memory.
My personal favorite are the eggs pickled with beets. That my be because my aunt used to make them that way and we would always eat them when we went to visit. It's been years since I had a pickled egg. One of my favorite things, though, is pickled red onion slices on a hamburger. Yum.
I have NEVER seen a couple work so well together …on EVERYTHING 🥰 love your channel ❤️😘
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.
I am so jealous of you guys couple helping each other so sweet. You seldom see that kind of partnership. I never had pickled egg I would love to make for my own someday watching this because my family will do off grid by next year and I want to learn everything for survival. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. Love it!
I loved this. Very wholesome relationship content, calming cooking content, and oddly therapeutic and satisfying jaring and recipe building content.
Never would’ve thought I’d be so excited to watch people pickle eggs, but wow was I excited to see this video
After the eggs are cooked, you can crack them and put them in them back into cold water for about 10 min. The water will seep between the shell and egg and makes it very easy to peel.
Very satisfying to watch the whole process, loved how you just grabbed some snow to cool the eggs down
When y'all are peeling the eggs, crack them on your board, then roll them with slight pressure on the board . Makes peeling easier. Used to have to make a few hundred deviled eggs for a brunch buffet as a prep cook decades ago
I feel like I know this young couple. Been watching them for a few years from there old home in lower 48 to how they are thriving today. God bless you guys.
I get happy when i see a new video from you guys :)
Why would anyone dislike this wonderful couple. This adventure has been so enjoyable to follow.
Well one reason might be that they are promoting unsafe food preservation methods that could make someone very very sick. These jars aren't even being processed which means that they are NOT safe for shelf storage.
I love you two and your channel sooo much! My daughter and her boyfriend live in Anchorage. I have a question though. I pickle mostly quail eggs and you are the first people that I have come across that have said that you can actually preserve pickled eggs safely. It was my understanding that you can pickle and refrigerate them them sort term, but NOT preserve them because the vinegar cannot penetrate them because they are too dense. I have sooo many eggs. Can they be preserved???
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
Try this Japanese marinade for eggs: boil equal parts of soy sauce, Japanese Mirin sauce, minced garlic, scallions, & sugar. Plus dash of pepper. Delicious!!! Good as topping for ramen noodles!
Do you add equal parts of everything, or just the soy and mirin sauce? I'm confused but would love to try this recipe. I like anything asian flavored!
@@everythinghomestead9222 just soy sauce and mirin. My daughter loves it!
@@everythinghomestead9222 taste the mixture to adjust to your taste
Tiger eggs are great! I love them.
Allergic to soy.
You guys are literally living my dream..... I LOVE YOUR channel
I pickled my first eggs (quail) last week. Never eaten them before. When I decided to pickle them I searched TH-cam and your video was the first hit. Been a huge fan ever since and subscribed straight away. Keep up the great work.
When I was young there was a very fancy and expensive restaurant in my city. The maître de was in charge of the coffee. This place was known for its amazing coffee. Got to know him and he shared his secret. He saved the egg shells. They got rinsed then roasted in the oven until beige colour. These were Put on top of the coffee ground along with a few grates of nutmeg and cinnamon. Absolute Heaven.
Interesting. There is a trick when making stock or broth. Putting a few eggshells in whilst cooking will clarify the soup and make it clear instead of cloudy.
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!!!!
Talk about it!
I would love this kind of life but my body will never survive the cold 🥶
Start living it and the girl will come after.
Come and get me!
I rest my case!🤣
Seriously guys you got me sold! Another great video, easy, straightforward and interesting, no bull!
Always loved pickled eggs! Thanks for the inspiration for other varieties! Who remembers when pubs had pickled egg and hotdog jars on the bar?
When Eric handed bandit the egg and said “for your hard work” I burst out laughing 😂
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 :)
Love them and make them. I grew up in Ohio. Guessing you, or grandma, are from there or PA, possibly another close state?
@@KimofCoventry Grandma was in PA lol
Good job darling. Well done. Your connection and togetherness is much more important to me ❤
The massive amount of snow sure makes it easier to quick-cool the 350 boiled eggs!
I'm gonna make 50 pickled eggs tomorrow just because I watched you and learned....love watching your channel
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.
I can’t believe I never tried pickled eggs before, but I just made my first batch and they are so delicious!
Not only will they taste good....they look beautiful in the jars. Thanks for another enjoyable video!
I have NEVER WANTED A PICKED EGG SO MUCH IN MY LIFE.
Same here!
Definitely gonna make eggs and veggies tomorrow hahaha
No pickled eggs for me tried once never again
@@marieince3239 try pickled quail eggs. They are better. I use 1&1/2 cup white vinegar, 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 tsp old bay seasoning, 1 tsp salt, one tsp sugar, and chopped garlic and chili to your taste.. I also add in a sliced roasted beet. 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. Then enjoy till they are all gone
I’m told they keep 4 months in he fridge. Mine are long gone by then.
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!
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..
I made them also, I haven't tried them yet, do they all have to be refrigerated once in jars at all times? Help.
@@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.
You two are an amazing couple. Bravo to your canning knowledge and those beautiful jars!! ♥️🙏🏼♥️
Hey guys fellow chicken keeper here i found an old edwarden trick, come winter time feed them warm porridge they will lay every other day
or hot mashed potatoes
Genius
That's what my grandma used to do.
For us in Australia a cold day is around 0 Celsius so nothing like your cold. But we give them a dash of cayenne pepper to keep them laying in winter
@@karenem7489 Woah! That works??? - Michelle after 50
So nice to see a couple that's loving and passionate about their food they create.beautiful ❤️
Absolutely love your videos. Thanks for sharing your adventures and life with all of us.
Dank DNW voor dit gesprek en dank Jeroen voor het openen van vele ogen in dit land.
preserving is the way to go in alot of places. Glad the art is not dead in alaska.
Dang it, only ten more eggs and it could've been said that your egg preservation... _Has come full circle._
👍😋
🤣😂
Hahahah!
If you include the damaged/lost ones... They went a full 360 dEGGrees!!
You have won the internet :)
If more people had the work ethic of the Amish, kind hearts, and the adventurous spirit of you two, the world would be a perfect place to live. Amazing how important chickens can be for a homestead.
I love the team work. I love this show.
I've been a canner for 60 years. So glad to see the younger folks pick it up. We always pickled eggs as you do till our county extension office reported some incidents of botulism from beet pickled eggs way back in the 70's. Since that time...I have made sure that I water bath AND scrub veggies and I par boil and peel beets and carrots BEFORE adding to any jars since they will likely be the culprit. I just sort of heat it up enough to drive out any oxygen ensuring a good air tight seal. Kind of like one does with a cuke or cauliflower pickle. Do please keep these refrigerated except for serving after opening! I grew up with pickled eggs and pickled bologna in gallon jars sitting out on the counter for snacks. But I put myself thru nursing school working in nutrition dept of hospital and I do NOT recommend attempting this IF you are not clear on what botulism is and how to prevent it.
I don't know why my siblings and I are still alive. My grandparents kept all pickles and condiments at room temp in jars for us to eat daily. They also kept dinner left overs on table till supper...covered with a linen tablecloth...except during summer. WE WERE LUCKY.
nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_06/pickled_eggs.html
What does removing the oxygen do? Botulism comes from an anaerobic bacteria. Did you mean all the air in general?
They built up strong immune systems. Fear and sanitizing everything makes us weak in my opinion. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Ye of little faith. Our bodies are amazing. We do have an affect on the outcome. We create our reality. 🤔
@@Ztimeforacoolchange correct.
Our ancestors didn't sanitise everything and we're still here.
We're making humans weaker
@@Ztimeforacoolchange Boutilism toxin is the most deadly in the world. The reason you haven't met anyone who's survived it is because they're all dead.
@@TheRealSly14Cat it's also something you get rid of by properly heating what you eat, if I'm not mistaken? (core temp 85°C [*185°F] for about 5 minutes should do?) My guess would be that people just didn't properly cook what needs cooking when they pickle stuff (e.g. when they forget that it takes quite a while for something to reach that core temp).
This is by far the most off based youtube suggested video I have ever gotten, yet it is so on point
I used to get pickled beats from a friend. I would save the brine/juice after we'd eaten all the beats and add boiled eggs to those jars and pickle my eggs that way. They looked amazing with the purple color, and they tasted amazing. This is a great video!
This is the way we do them too. Pickle the beets and once we eat some of the beets out of a jar, put some eggs in. We've never done any other types, but we'll have to try some of these.
My mother in-law pickles eggs and adds beets, hot pickled sausages, red onion and peppercini (sp) and sweet salad peppers. They are to die for!!!
@@mnmb3640 That sounds amazing!
Loved watching this outdoor processing of the pickled eggs! This is a great teacher!
Did you? Did you LOVE watching eggs boil? Was it the pouring of various common liquids in jars? Did it make you swoon? Holyshit, son...
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!
My grandparents always fed shells back to chickens used chicken manure in garden. She knew how to use in garden and plowing it over and over she always had a beautiful garden.
My favorite channel. I have to rewatch when there’s nothing new. 😄
The same time we do eggs, we pickle our garden salad mix, Kohlrabi, cauliflower, carrots, onions, radishes, hot Cayenne peppers, garlic, and some herbs and olive oil. 30 one gallon jars last from Thanksgiving to Memorial day. The best veggies to pickle are the cool weather crops.
guys put some metal basket inside your pots like Louisiana crawfish pots and take all out at once and just put it on the snow lol
I've cancelled cable TV, you guys are way more entertaining 😄.
Smart. Welcome to freedom with a chance for interaction and independent thoughts. Enjoy the off casing of the deep state indoctrination/TV.
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.
That is brilliant
That is a genius idea!!!
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
Would used underwear work?I have ones with one racing stripe,and others with2. Lol
Brilliant. I was thinking a spider or pasta strainer insert. Pillow cases makes loading and unloading ,cooking, and cooling easiest.
❤ Egg-actly.... Awesome ! Thank you for sharing!
I use balsamic vinegar in my pickled eggs, they come out delicious! I buy a cheap balsamic vinegar add sugar and salt and equal part of water, no herbs...the flavour of the balsamic vinegar is enough!
How much of each ingredient do you use?
Yes, recipe, please?
i made a chip dip the other day with balsamic vinegar it's probably the best smelling vinegar in my opinion
What even is a TH-cam algorithm. I've never eaten pickled eggs, now I want some. Subscribed!!
LoL feeling the same 😂 would love to know how it tastes 😅
Me too! 😅
Right?!? I'm gonna make some tomorrow!!
My grandmother kept her hens laying all winter by giving them hot water twice a day. Their pan of course would have ice in it and when putting hot water in would be warm for them. I also know a lady who cooks oatmeal for her hens every morning.
If you have access to electricity in the hen house; keeping a low-wattage light bulb on hens for 14-16 hours a day will keep them laying year round.
wow good to know!
Yes! Hot water in the really cold weather helps!!! and I make hot oatmeal with a bit of lard and molasses! We get eggs year round 💕
My gran used to feed the hens a hot meal of peelings etc. every day! Thanks for the memory, I had completely forgotten!
I think it's good to let your hens rest over winter and not try to force them to lay. It's the lack of daylight hours that stop them laying. It's natural.
11 years of chickens and I give all their eggs shells back to them that I use, simply crunched with my boot when they land with the kitchen scraps on the ground. Any cracked eggs after laying just get thrown into the run area for them. I have had between 100 chickens and 30 chickens and never had any egg eaters. Can’t wait to try pickled eggs. Great job guys. 🇳🇿
One of THE most beautiful roosters I've ever seen!!
My mom would buy pickled beets and save the liquid to put hard boiled eggs in. She also saved her pickle juice for eggs and cauliflower and carrots.
Tell me more! How did she do this exactly
@@bumpsandbliss she just boiled the eggs, peeled them and placed them in the brine in the refrigerator. No heat, and they needed to stay in the fridge. She used the jars the beets and pickles came in.
I remember my mom buying a mixed sweet pickles that had cauliflower in them.Going to start saving pickle and beet juice. THANKS
@@Lisa-wp1ff You want to use the bread and butter style pickle juice.
@@Nortekj bread and butter pickle juice is good, but Mother also used dill pickle juice for these. It is a matter of taste, I guess.
its verz easy to preserve eggs in a fresh stadium, without cooking them: Put them in a big bottling jar with fresh chalk and some water, so the pores of the eggshell will be occluded and the eggs remain fresh over months, till april, may of the next year. We practiced this back in the 60-ies, 70-ies in Romania, where I come from
Would chalk and lime work the same?
Hmm, so are these used as fresh eggs later? They’re not pickled then, right👵🏻👩🌾
awesome thankyou?
awesome thankyou!
😎
Your wife truly adores you, please don’t take that for granted. You are a blessed man brother!
I first tried pickling eggs because of your previous video. They were great! So glad you've done another one.
Sure was wonderful to see you young people canning pickled eggs I do agree with the Asian ones look yummy much love to the both of you in Alaska and God bless
TH-cam brought me here. I was mesmerized. Not sure why. But I was. I love looking into how life can be so different for different people. The eggs looked really delicious. Waiting 2 weeks must be difficult. Subscribed.
I, too, found it strangely relaxing to watch this whole process!
Just watched this video of your Remote Cabin .. Lasting Memories. Really enjoyed .. the videos .. clips of memories in the cabin, your process of putting new stove fireplace, building the steps, the nice outhouse, fishing and caring for your babies 🦮and the hard work of traveling to the cabin and hauling all the stuff you need. Just sad, that your babies are getting older. But you do well in caring for them.
Are you planning to sell this property ?
So enjoyable to see you both work together and in all your projects ... truly a Teamwork. Nice to see some tender moments between you two .. As a woman, she's a great compliment to Eric and certainly deserved that warm embrace and hug. 🥰😘💖
all love and respect from Morocco . your vedios have a healing impact on me .we miss this relaxation .
That table at the end is a rainbow of yummy.
Egg salad with all the veggies from the jars would be awesome!
I bet you guys have a really good relationship, it translates in your body language. Thanks for the video, we need to flood this kind of information out as much as we can. I hope this channel grows to help you guys with your journey.
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.
I wish I could find the same.. I love the farm life
