    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...

      @@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..

    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 UA-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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

  • @scibear9944
    @scibear9944 3 роки тому +12

    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😁

    • @beanperry
      @beanperry Рік тому

      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

    • @bonarlibor3067

    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.

    • @cavokdotcom
      @cavokdotcom 4 роки тому +4

      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.

    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.
