This is gonna sound strange, but I work on my neighbors house and help her with certain tasks, as she is elderly, She tries to give me money, which I never accept, but, I asked her if she knew how to make pickled eggs. Well, for the past 7 years, she makes me pickled eggs, of all sorts of flavors.. My favorite ones are the maple syrup and cinnamon... Every time, I feel like I am having pancakes and eggs ... LOL... Best thing in the world....
She asked me to stop drinking the juice as she wanted it back for something... only to find out that this ole gal was making moonshine out of it some how.. Which is to die for!!! Please note, I do not drink, not on any moral issues, rather, just don't like the taste, but, having tried the pancake flavored moonshine, I might have to be careful becoming and alcoholic... LOL.. that stuff is really good.. Lastly, I am gonna blame her for this... I have put on like 10 lbs... LOL... When I ask her for the ingredients, she never tells the truth.. she says some stupid stuff like "ohhh, it has a little bit of rabbit tail in it, some bat wing, horse knees, and spider butts.".... Silly ole woman...
I never met her. I think I love her lol
@@Wickedjc2119 NOOOOOO.. She is mine.... Stay away... Those pancake flavored pickled eggs belong to me... LOL
@@drubradley8821 lol she sounds awesome
Going to have to try the Maple syrup & Cinn
@@johnnyswag2802 I failed to mention... These Maple & Cinnamon flavored pickled eggs, are exceptionally torturous... Meaning, they take a little while longer for the flavor to saturate into the hard boiled eggs.. Now, imagine, you have a gallon jar of these eggs on the counter, sealed, hidden away from direct sun light, of course... Yet, you have to walk by them several times a day, just living your life.. (Mine sit on the shelf coat room, that leads to the garage) and most items in that coat room after a day of sitting there, you kinda forget that junk is sitting there... BUT... these dang pancake & cinnamon favored hard boiled eggs, just sitting there, looking at you, every time you walk by.. Please note, the first batch, as the sat there, never bothered me, as I had never tasted them before.. but now that I have tasted them, they look at me, every time I walk by them.. taunting me, saying "NOPE...NOT READY YET!"... the next time I walk by them, of course I see them, and the eggs see me, and say again, Even though, it has only been 3 minutes okay from the last time I walked by, the eggs say, "NOPE... NOT READY YET".... It is so not fair, how long these have to sit before you can eat them to get the full saturation aspect.. Yes, you can eat them the day you made them, but you are missing out.. .The day the are ready, I wait an additional day to 3 and clean out a huge spot in the fridge, to hold the large jar.. and the day I pop the top of that jar, is like opening Christmas presents when you are like a little kid. .(maybe that is just me?) Which I typically will set up for the special event, on a Friday night opening.. I likely make this more of a bigger deal then what it really is, but, I did learn one thing that she does, she used the real eggs, the eggs the eat bugs and stuff, the natural eggs.. OMG are those eggs so good. Even just frying up on of those eggs to dip your toast into the bubble part of it, is so dang good..
Find and build a relationship with your local farmers.. in fact, you can trade working on their farm to help the get stuff down a few hours a week, and they will trade you with eggs or fresh milk if that is what you want.. In my state, there are laws that make it illegal for the farmer to sell me eggs directly, and cutting out the middle man.. I follow the law, and I give the farmer free work, a few hours a months, and it just happens that I get a few dozen eggs and milk a month.. what are the odds of that... No money was exchanged.. Both party's Often times, My sons come alone and help.. many years later, They actually took their dates to the farm. and the girls they brought with them, loved it, as they got to see and work with the horses and a few goats..
Hey..I'm 72..pickle my eggs with carrots onions jalapeños pimento cucumbers and yes mixed vinigars white and apple...and hot sausages
I put em in the fridge in a humongous glass jar and I'm finally fininishing the year old delicious stuff. I live alone and I'm glad there is no competition for my favorite snacks.
That sounds like a complete meal medley in one jar. I'm making my first jar of pickled eggs for me and my brother and I think I'm going to try something like this with the extra veggies pickled with the eggs. Thank you!
PS: Do you add in the pre pickled hot sausages or regular cooked hot sausages?
Any reason for the mixed vinegar?
@@analarson2920 flavor. All apple cider would be too strong for their liking and so they use white vinegar to meet the required amount of vinegar and keep the flavor profile they are looking for.
What kind of sausage do you use and how do you prep them? As soon as I read your post I flashed back to them in the 50s and 60s but forgot all about pickled sausages.
I’m 33 and I feel the same way about living alone. I’ve got the metabolism of a migrating elephant and I also love making gigantic dinners for one!
Guys, I saw this video when it first came out, because I have the notification bell, and I told you guys that I was living my Alaska dreams through you, so the next day I made it. I only made 1/2 a dozen eggs and stuck them in the fridge. I had leftover brine so I went to the store and got one of those long cucumber and pickled it. We went to visit my in-laws and ended up quarantining with them for two months. When we got back, I eat those eggs and pickle with. my husband. Both of us first time for the eggs. it was delicious!! But I could not remember where I got the recipe from or where did I put it. tonight I was on TH-cam and there was Eric holding up that jar of egg, and it all clicked. Wrote it down and tape it with my other favorite recipes inside my kitchen closet door. Thanks again guys.
I too did the same thing!!! 😁
@@starfiresilky Very good. Take care
@@karenandriancontainergardening likewise 😁
How did you get your jars to seal. My open kwttle jars wont seal. Hot jars, boiling brine, no sealing jars.
Pickled eggs take egg salad and tuna salad sandwiches to a whole other level. You can do a sweet or a dill version.
Great idea!
Thanks Em, I tried that and thought it tasty. I also added some homemade sauerkraut to my egg salad sandwich.
This is the most wholesome comment section in what feels like all of TH-cam.
Homesteading video comment sections usually are pretty good. You might like Hollar Homestead, Justin Rhodes, Art and Bri, Living Traditions Homestead, Sow The Land, Roots and Refuge, Doug and Stacey, etc. All excellent homesteaders with great families, great recipes, and tons of how to raise your own veggies/animals.
@@dibutler9151 I actually lived on a farm for years, and work as a professional Japanese chef, so it's actually quite lovely when I find new videos about this stuff.
Yes, right there with Alaska Prepper
We are all looking for happiness. 👍
Reviewbrah.
My husband is now pickling eggs like there’s no tomorrow!! Love your videos 🌺❤️
I am just glad that a video on pickled eggs has over a million views!
Thank you ❤Godbless you🎉
They really are made for each other. What a great couple!
if yall every want to change up your eggs, look into chinese lu dan (eggs braised in soy sauce) or japanese shoyu tomago (soy sauce egg). its a nice salty treat! they go great over rice, noodles, or a savery soup!
....its pretty difficult to find a life partner,...you guys are blessed!...just keep going
you aint kiddin! getting harder and harder these days!!!!
Hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha you mean wife
@@feralprepper1597 yes, thats what he meant
I am hoping for such a partner! 😔
@@sabirahchelbi3342 I wish you all the very best!
Years ago we use to have a roommate who loved pickled eggs and beer.Unfortunately we had to let him go, eggs and beer...an explosive combination!!
It's great when you've had a few in the pub and you get a picked egg and packet of crisps, put the egg in with the crisps and smash them all together. You get the nice pickled egg pieces but also the taste and crunchy texture of something like prawn cocktail, cheese & onion, salt and vinegar ect
I can't be the only one who learned about pickled eggs from Moe's Tavern on The Simpsons.
ditto
just avoid the black one.
They are also used to pick the Pope.
I heard about from the movie “The Gentleman”
When I was little pickled eggs was the first thing I learned to cook. I was 4 years old. We'd cook and peel them, we made a very salty brine cause these were sold to the local bars and I'd put them in my little red wagon and tote them to town. We didn't call it off grid back then. It was just our farm. No indoor plumbing. No heat except the coal stove in the parlour and wood stove in the kitchen. I'd wake up in the morning with ice in the wash basin and pitcher. We had an outhouse out back. But thank goodness for chamber pots in the winter! The snow would be so high sometimes the path to the outhouse was like a tunnel. Since this was northern Maine the climate and everything you have brings back memories of my childhood. So I'm very much enjoying your videos. Wish I was young again so I could still live like that. Sitting around the Franklin stove in the winter braiding rugs out of strips of old clothes. So colorful. Chatting and telling stories.
What a beautiful comment. You should write a book! I'd love reading all about growing up like that. I bet a lot of people here would.
What’s being young have to do with living like that
Your life sounds absolutely dreamy
Please tell where and when was it ? If you don't might.
@@tentam1982 ah, around 1958. In northeastern Maine near the coast. It was a tiny backwater town then. Houlton, Maine. No route 93 at all then. It is on route 1. Not too far from caribou. Haven't been back for a while. It's a good 7 or 8 hour drive from where I am now in New Hampshire. My family has been in New England for 385 years this year. Maine was part of Massachusetts back then you know. I love history. And it's fun when you have a personal connection to the lives of those who came before us.
My gran introduced me to pickled eggs. She was a country farm girl from the Midwest. Her fav version is with beet juice. I’ve always loved these
One of my new favorite channels. Kind, hardworking, respectable people with great work ethic, beautiful scenery and lots of great knowledge and projects. Thanks for the content and God bless.
I've heard about pickled eggs whole my life from movies. Now i want to make my own pickeled in POLAND. I presume pickled eggs are as much exotic for me like sour cabbage or cucambers for you guys. Wish me luck!
I just pickled 72 large eggs just the way you did yours. Thanks for the helpful video. This is what YT is supposed to be. Thanks again from New Mexico:)
I did the same 2 weeks ago and one jar appears to be a little milky, is that going to be bad??
fresh eggs steamed in a sieve with a lid on top, 14 minutes peel like a dream
i agree w. you.
@Warrior Son You Obviousley are uneducated If you think they are remotely the same thing... from ABQ here btw!
I mean no.. youtube is supposed to be a massive monopolizing platform designed to generate huge amounts of data and money for the corporation and board that controls it. Good content is just a side effect.
I let fresh eggs sit for two or three weeks. When it is time to cook them, I add either salt or veg oil to the water. This makes it really easy to peel them (as I hate peeling eggs.) Boiling the jars and lids also helps the jars seal air tight. Fill them up, put the lid on them and, then turn the bottles upside down.
Great video.
Tip:You could save on gas by starting eggs in cold water let them boil for 1 minute turn heat off,cover and just let them sit for 15min. Also hot water You drain can be used for water bath(it is already hot) just drain to next pot.
Haha, you never forget your first jar of pickled eggs! Mine was at my uncle's Bar in the early 80s
Funny I am watching this and I realized we’re neighbors :) I am in Wasilla. We have tons of fresh goat milk if you ever want to keep experimenting :)
Yeah, there were a group of people from Minnesota who settled there. I knew the accent sounded familiar.
Goat cheese and goat butter. Goat cream and goats milk for baking sounds wonderful only thing that could make it better would be having a bunch of egg laying hens too. My kids love cheese and eggs and fresh bread, homemade breakfast pizza, cakes, cookies, and so much more with the possibilities are huge especially if you have a garden
@@annak804 goat caramel sauce , basically goat milk and sugar in mexico we called CAJETA is yomi 😋
Me too...off Bogard :) I really love their vids!
I’ve got a friend that lives in Wasilla! Clint Clippinger
For pretty peeled eggs the secret is to plunge the eggs as quickly as possible into salted ice water. Since you have lots of snow there, this should work even better. The cold shock causes the egg white to shrink away from the shell. I've been doing them this way for decades and only rarely had a problem😁
All eggs have an air bubble in them. If you take a small pain and poked around and of the egg compared to the pointy end. When they boil the are leaves that little hole and the eggs are perfectly round. Then once you dump the eggs in ice water, they peel so easily and have a perfect egg shape
Rick Dean from down in Texas has a good trick, puts a bit of baking soda in the cold water whilst it cools. Tried it, makes it so easy to peel.
I just save pickle juice or picked beat juice, add spices, some white vinegar, and let them sit in the fridge about 2-4 months. The longer the better!
do you boil it together?
Chef Tip: Peel the eggs in a bowl of water, submerged, you'll damage far fewer and rinse at the same time.
ill give that a go
Coolsies.
Does this work on fresh laid eggs?
add a teaspoon of vinegar to the boiling water and you'll prevent any hairline cracks on eggs from exploding
@@WarAuthority Truesay wise one.
I love pickled eggs. I first tried them 57 years ago when my mom made some. I just made 2 dozen a couple of weeks ago. I use vinegar, onions, pickling spice, black peppercorns, assorted peppercorns. The pickling spice has cinnamon, coriander,mustard seed, allspice, bay leaves, ginger, dill seed, chilies, black pepper, mace, cardamon in it.
Joe S do you add sugar to brine?
This sounds like the perfect eggs and pickling juice to add to a sweet pickle potato salad! Sublime!!
Ratios please!!
Sounds like you went wild with the spices is that normal or an overkill?
@@johnjames5518 That is normal for me.
WHY did this pop up in my feed when I do not, would not, could not, like pickled eggs?! More importantly, why did I watch every minute?!?!
nice video. :) i love pickled eggs. Here in Germany we don't peel the shell off but just crack it all arround. Then some onion skins are added to the brine which gives the eggs a marble like appearance when it soaks through the cracks. They are then peeled just before eating them.
Never tried it with jalapenos, maybe I try that :)
STIMPY
are they easy or hard to peel when u do it that way? peeling them is the part i hate the most when pickling eggs
If you guys go through that many pickled eggs you must have to sleep in separate bedrooms. LOL. If not, you are definitely in it for the long haul and made for each other! I think you two love each other just as much as I love yer vids. You 2 are great for couple vids. I usually see vids done with couples and one usually makes the other look stupid but you do a good job. Thank you and take care in these crazy times.
"These should last a long time."
Not at *my* house.
I was drooling during this entire video.
Which means I should probably see a doctor....
Been making hard boiled eggs for Deviled eggs and pickling for decades and peeling was always a hassle (tried every method known to man) but recently I bought one of those new fangled Instant Pots and tried pressure cooking them....
Wow, what a difference, not having to store eggs for weeks before boiling them so they peel easier, taste great, good consistency. Five (5) minutes of pressure cook, let sit at pressure for five minutes then put them in cold water to cool them. Easiest peeling eggs ever!
I agree.. it’s a game changer for me.
Little bit of baking soda in the cold water whilst cooling. Rick Dean from Texas, very good method, so easy & don't destroy the eggs.
From one " Pot Head" to another, yessss!!! Easiest peeling eggs ever.
We have the Ninja Foodi Air Frier/Pressure Cooker combo and we make soft boiled eggs all the time. We only cook them for two minutes and quick release then into cold water. The whites are cooked and the yolk is runny. Perfection!
I just happened upon here just because, and for some reason, I feel.happier. thanks
A Stab at a Recipe:

Per quart jar:
2 heads of garlic
Black pepper seed (1/2 to 1 t.)
Dill seed (1/2 t.)
Sugar and salt in brine (about 2 T. per jar or per 10 eggs or to taste)
Layer in each quart jar:
Fresh red onion rings (about 1/4 med)
Fresh jalapenos (5 to 8 slices with seeds)
*estimates are about 2 cups brine per quart jar with 9-10 eggs
Illias? Please tweak/overhaul as needed...
Not all heros wear capes
Brown mustard seeds & coriander
Thank you!!!

* *Lisa Branton,* * What? And *WHY?* - Never water-down vinegar that's already diluted to 5% acidity. You're reducing it to 2.5% acidic and what for? Storage and shelf life's important. Imma gonna slappa you with wet spaghetti, girl.
I love it when you hear a sharp knife slice right through an onion!
Was born and raised in Alaska and after 38 years you're the first people in Alaska I've seen eat pickled eggs.
About feeding the egg shells to the chickens: My Grandmother and others in her family would toast the shells in the oven before crumbling them to feed to the chickens. It gave them lots of calcium for other shells plus they would get a taste for fresh shells and peck open fresh eggs and eat shells, eggs and all.
I was thinking about that as the eggs went in the pen. I think they're fine once the shells have been cooked. For shells that you're cracking raw, baking is a great option!
Wouldn't it be a bad idea to teach chickens to eat their own fresh eggs?
@@StitchThomas some chick spits and some chicks swallow...
@@binyd4
Perfect...
Perhaps to perfect 🤔
My dad always said eggshells made chickens less anxious & they wouldn't peck at each as often. Something about the alkaline in the shells???????
Oh man, I discovered last year that I could pickle my own quail eggs in my very favorite picked jalapeño recipe and I've been begged for them ever since! They're so good.
Been following you guys for a long time, down here in Florida. For me it's like watching people on the moon, so very different than my existence down here. I love each and every episode. And you do a great job explaining stuff.
I watch you guys from Southern California. I find myself feeling cold watching you trounce around on the snow. Your adventures are fun to watch.
I freakin love pickled eggs. I literally opened youtube to look for new pickled egg recipes to try (since I'm a bit bored) and while this wasn't a new recipe for me I enjoyed the heck out of the coincidence!
* 1 large piece of ginger peeled and sliced thin.
* a few garlic cloves sliced thin.
* sliced onion
* a few peppercorns
* a few mustard seeds
* a few caraway seeds
* bay leaf
* salt/pepper/sugar
I would wash my red beets well, cut off all but about 1 inch of tops and boil until fork tender. Remove beets to cool. Let water from beets settle (depends how clean the skin is) and pour into glass bowl. Don’t pour last of settled water in bowl, you can usually tell. Skin beets (easy if you do while warm) cut in chunks or slice and put in bowl. Add Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar (more water if necessary) Peel your boiled eggs and place in liquid with beets. Adding some chopped onion is optional and strength of ACV. Let sit overnight. Pickled beets and eggs.
Try the garlic mustard pickled eggs....so good
When peeling eggs I like to crack one of the sides against a hard surface and then roll the egg against the same surface and it becomes super easy to peel.
I have always used a higher ratio of vinegar to my water (3>1), just to confirm that the ratio is very open ended. Great video, and an excellent snack food!
Love it that somebody else appreciates cooking outside no matter what the weather. Love pickled eggs. Thanks that you shared.
Wow!! This video went from 30 likes to 133 likes in the time I spent to watch it!! Congrats from Brazil!!
I love any and everything pickled, sour, salty, spicy and vinegary. I can't believe I've never had a pickled egg, but I will absolutely be making these asap. Thanks for the great video, you have a new subscriber.
This video is how I discovered Simple Living Alaska channel.
We just pickled 38 eggs which filled 2 1/2 gal. Ball canning jars and used your recipe. I can’t wait to try these. We raise and use chickens for eggs and extra roosters for meat. We have pickled eggs before and the results were good but this recipe should be better. We just experienced our 1st 0 degrees here in central Texas and don’t want it again. I can’t imagine how anyone could endure those kinds of temperatures for weeks and months. Thanks for sharing your recipe and canning method so aptly demonstrated.
He says "Wheres the sac?" while peepling the eggs.....
She says "Its called a membrane sweetheart.....a membrane" HAHAHA
This reminds me so much of my wife and I and everything we do :P You 2 are great!
I love, absolutely LOVE your measuring system! "And pinch, a palm full, about a cup and a half"
Awesome guys, thanks for sharing! (Watching from down here in TN)
I'm ghetto. I just eat all the pickles and refill the jar with eggs.
Same lol
yep me too
Oh yes. Good old country gal here and I do this also especially when I'm to lazy to make the brine. Lol
I use the 1 gallon Jalapeño jar
😂😂 I love your honesty
Thanks for the video. I've always grown my own vegetables. This year we are getting hens. Self sustainability is becoming a requirement of our society. Will be watching more of your videos
My Mom has been making pickled beets, eggs & onions since I was a wee lassie! We don't wait 2 weeks to eat them tho. They don't last the night! So delicious!
Agree, I have been doing this all my life, sliced onion, beets, eggs, with a vinegar/water solution and a few other spices, no sugar, allow the eggs to marinate a day or so, usually gone in a few days.
Tap each end on table then roll. Shells come right off. Grandmother taught me and I'm 73! Going to try your recipe. I do the basalmic vinegar ones. Neighbour thinks black eggs are gross. They taste good. Have pink ones from beet juice too. Yours sure look awesome! Now I want to set up my cooking kitchen stove. Have one of those tables!! Great video!
Balsamic vinegar is an option too??? Oh my god.. I bet they would be amazing with tarragon and black garlic.
I am not sure how I have come across this channel- but I watched 1 video, and now think this is my 6th. I am HOOKED!
I watched this vid and made pickled eggs the next day! I had only done it one other time before! I dont know why people are so scared of canning these, they are delicious and safe to do!
They make a nice couple! Love how they connect beautifully:). I want to eat some pickled eggs now :)
I cooked a dozen hard-boiled eggs, and later found my son had peeled all of them. I thought, pickled eggs! And that is how I found this channel, which I am now in love with.
i also like the fact that u both do everything together.u always share the load in equal measure,and thats just really great.if more people adopted ur ways there would be a much nicer population of humans in the world.
I am English and love pickled eggs,you are the first American i have seen who loves them. I love pickled onions too,nice and crunchy ones that are a bit tart in flavour.
Just tried your recipe after waiting 3 long weeks looking at them in the fridge- totally worth it. Delicious. Thanks guys!
if the hens are not producing so much, try adding some calf manna to their feed, it has minerals that help hens produce better. My ranch friend loves using this for her hens, she just adds a little to the feed.
Try some food grade h2o2 to your feed crop for the chicks!
It's been a while since I've eaten pickled eggs and I really like them, you've inspired me to make these!
Thank you for this tutorial, you did a great job of explaining the process!
I'm a bachelor, when I got given a Jar of pickled Beets I would reuse the brine to make Purple Pickled eggs .. MMMmmm
kj smith came here to say the same thing
Our pickled egg recipe uses beets. Only way I like them.
I bet you boil a mean instant noodle.
My mom made them in the Pickled Bologna Brine those are the best

Pickled bologna??? Say what???
Pickled eggs so good on there own and fantastic sliced in a salad, etc. So good. Plus it’s a great way to use up the extras when they are popping them out like crazy in spring & summer.
I have to start following y'all cuz you guys banter just like my wife and me. Awesome down to earth video.
Thanks for the inspiration, will definitely make these! Quick tip for peeling eggs I use when making a lot of deviled eggs, you can use a spoon to break the whole shell and then stick the spoon between the shell and the egg. I know it doesn't sound that good, but it's saved me so much time.
Love em
Have since I was a kid.
I use to get 1 every Sunday after church @ the Mowhawk general store in Laconia N.H.
Thanks for the recipe
I’m going to have to make these!!! I’m so glad you loaded a new video- we miss you guys!!! Happy Easter from Oregon!🐰
Awesome looks healthy never tried them, but will now.
Made my first batch of pickled eggs over the weekend. Thanks for the video, guys.
My grandmother used to make all her own pickles, including pickled eggs, ( love 'em ) also something I've never seen anybody else do.........pickled walnuts.
My brother in law loves them, I'm allergic to walnuts or I'd try them
My partner made pickle walnuts here in uk. He was over the moon when he found out my boss had 2 walnut trees but never collected the nuts she let hi have them all. I wasn't impressed with the look of them but he enjoyed them.
Whoa, what?? Pickled walnuts???
I love y’all’s out takes. 🐣
Awesome video of step-by-step how to pickle eggs! I have been watching many videos how to do this and some of the videos are so fast that you forget what they put in! Thanks for taking the time to show how it’s done!😊
When I'm boiling and shelling eggs, I take the pan off the heat when they're cooked, tip out the hot water and run them under cold water, still in the pan. I let the pan fill up with very cold water then crack each one against the pan and peel it under the water, all the bits of shell float off and the skin slips off. I leave the shells in the water till I've finished then slowly pour out the water, the shells stay in the bottom of the pan and I just wipe them out with a bit of kitchen paper, ready for the compost. None go down the sink, no mess, easy. Your recipe looks good, thank you. Time I made some more.
Yes! That is EXACTLY how I do my eggs!
They recycled the shells, smart, feeding them back to the chickens. Minerals
Works great! Thanks for the tip.
Only problem with feeding hens the shells is their tendency to peck the eggs they've just laid. Not good.
Beautifully presented in addition to this video being completely thorough even mentioning how long to cook them in a water bath which is my intention. There’s a great vibe between you two. Thank you for your kindness and generosity cheers Jxn
I do love my pickled eggs and you seem like enjoyable souls. Thank you for sharing the time with us.
Well, this is the third or fourth time making these, we love them. Thanks for sharing
I've been making these for years and all that I use for the brine is 'Bick's Hot Peppers' juice, it works really good for me, and the pickled eggs are 'ready' the next day....nice and spicy the way that I love them, mmmmmmmmm!
You convinced me!! I’m going to pickle eggs for sure! Eggsellent video! Happy Easter!
This is wonderful that you can do this process outdoors! The eggs look very good and I love the ingredients! Thank you for sharing~

Boiling my eggs I place them in cold water for a few minutes like you after boiling they peel easier. I never knew chicken's could eat their own egg shell"s, learned another new thing. Before our beautiful "Rusty" dog went home he loved eggs also. Brilliant Thank you Ariel and Eric. Kind thoughts from Australia xx
We always cook our eggshells just to make sure they (chickens) aren’t eating any bacteria, but it is a great way of getting that calcium back into them for shells.
Mans just like "I got my calendar full. I got 60 eggs to peel today".

Thank you for this video and the completely new idea of pickling eggs. I never ever heard of them and my first thought was it MUST taste good, why would it not? Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮, keep up the good work!
Mmmm looks good! I make pickled eggs pretty often too. I see you gave those shells to the chickens -- I do too, but differently, I spread them out a little in a cardboard flat, my regular breakfast egg shells too for a few days to let those membranes dry out then I crumble them into a coffee can (I didn't used to dry them and found out they'll get stinky if you don't dry them first), they crumble much easier dry too.Then I make my own chicken feed, sort of. I use store bought pellet but also mix in additions to it according to season, what's needed and what's plentiful. I always use most of these things, but when it's really cold out I'll add more cracked and whole corn, if it's hot, no corn, if they're molting I'll add more black oil sunflower seeds, when all the greens are gone or covered, I'll add a few small alfalfa pellets. I live in wheat, oat, and barley country, so around harvest time, I know places where trucks clean out, and where there are bumps, cattle guards, etc that bounce a little off each truck -- I usually can find 10-15, or more, five gallon buckets of these grains for free that I'll mix in until I'm out. I keep the mixture about 1/3 to 1/2, pellets so I know they are always getting what the chicken food doctors recommended, but all that other stuff to stretch the feed budget and add variety. When I mix a batch for example it may be like one scoop corn, one scoop feed, one scoop sunflower, one scoop feed, one scoop barley, one scoop feed, one half cup of DE, Two cups crumbled egg shell, half a scoop of alfalfa, mix it all around in the barrel some, and start all over again until my barrel is full.
Egg shells are a really good source of calcium, but hens can't really store it, and too much at once, or too much to hens not laying, is bad for them. That's also why you shouldn't feed layer pellets to pullets before they start laying. By mixing it with the feed like that I figure they're always getting a boost (the layer pellets have some too), but they're never getting it all at once. I'm no chicken feed doctor, but I know my chickens won't eat the store bought laying pellets untill after they've eaten everything else. If I go to feed early in the am, I'll often find nothing but a few of the pellets left from the day before. Whenever I see this, I just don't feed them yet. I'll come back at 10:00 or Noon and every pellet is gone too, then I'll feed them.
However, there is a rooster too, and he doesn't need all that calcium either, but I'm certainly not going to bother making him a special diet and separating him so he'll eat only that, I don't even think he likes me that much, lol, and he is doing just fine on a layer diet. 😉
Try them with equal parts soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and water. I make them soft boiled and the yolk gets an awesome fudge like consistency. I think 7 minutes and 30 seconds is the perfect time.
If you put several eggs in a metal bowl, then cover with another bowl, top down, and shake it vigorously, they peel themselves! Kinda like pee!ing garlic or hazelnuts.
i add a it of white vinegar to my water while boiling the eggs makes the shells a bit softer and easier to come off
I roll them after I do the initial crack, lol. Just roll between the palms or on the table.
Making your wife peel them helps as well 😉
Man, I love this channel keep it up guys, I still think your potato harvest is my favorite video!!
Lol “since it’s such a pretty day outside” while standing in 4 feet of snow.
Alaska bro
It was probably warmer than you think it is.
Haha us Albertans know this all too well
Well, but it is gorgeous while the sun is out.
We used to pickle eggs with the red beets... Yum... And the eggs were so pretty on the table
Fresh red beets ? Or boiled ?
Apple Knocker thank you 😁
My grandmother did that!!
@@szodoraitunde9789 I'm Appalachian, and we use about a cup full (which is about what a qt of pickled beats will render) of pickled beet juice per gal jug of eggs. I have seen folks throw the beets in as well.
@@teresaweaver1012 thanks
Solid! I'll be making this for sure. Thanks for the awesome walkthrough!
My wife and I made y’all’s way and they’re amazing! Thanks for the video.
Hey! Just made my first trial batch. They are GREAT! Thanks again....
I have 3 quarts of this recipe in jars and am having a hard time keeping my husband out of them for at least 2 weeks. It has only been 3 days. :)
Sounds like you’ll have to make a dozen jars! 🤣
Hey you two we just cracked up in our first jar and they are absolutely delicious thank you for sharing this terrific recipe. We added malt vinegar 👍🏻
