Shelf Stable Pickled Egg- Preserving Eggs for Long Term Food Storage- Quick and Easy Recipe 

The silent rant about the feds is all I needed to hear. Big fan!

You got me as U$DA....I AM SUBSCRIBING RIGHT NOW! You are 100% correct - our parents, grandparent, great-grandparents, etc have been preserving food AND staying out of hospitals for hundreds of years before that corrupt agency (see what they do to supplements while allowing pharma with a list of negative side-effects as long as your arm) ever came along.

Really interesting and informative video. Just saying, I’m from the UK. I don’t know who/what the USDA are/is. In the UK we have pickled eggs at the pub and at fish and chip shops, they are not refrigerated. Surely we pickle stuff so we don’t have to refrigerate.

I am with you on USDA . My Grandma taught me to can everything. She didn't have a preasure cooker. She used the oven for many hours for meats. I do watch some foreign people around Germany. The still use ovens for meats.

We love our pickled eggs! You better feed that growing boy 🤣 he is a hungry feller!

💯 agree with what you say about being safe on a shelf or counter. And UK when buy eggs they are unwashed and we don't put them in a fridge and they last ages. USD would have a panic attack if that happened in the US .

Lol, my mom was a stickler for rules. I, on the other hand, am not. I think the USDA made these guidelines for all the people who don't have common sense and need the rules, lol. Thanks for the recipe. Can't wait to try it.

Love you and the child helping. So heartwarming in this IT-controlled time.

I steam my yard eggs in an instapot and they peel so easy.. You can do 40-50 at a time. Try seasoning your eggs with Jalapeños, onion and 2 heaping tablespoons of Zatarain’s crawfish, shrimp and crab boil. They are the bomb !!

I like the way that boy eats your prep work. 😂😂😂

Lol I'm with you, people have been eating and storing food for long LONG time before electricity and the FDA. Thanks for a good informative USEFUL video. Definitely earned another sub🏆

You must not ever feed that boy 😂. Love the way he is enjoying everything. Loved the video.

Ain’t no bell pepper left! Haha- love it

AMEN GIRL!!! My Mom in law learned water bathing ONLY and managed not to unalive 6 kids or she and Dad.

This does sound a delicious way to pickle eggs. Simple with flavoursome additions to each jar. I’m 78 and I live in New Zealand and come from & Farming stock though I now live in a city. I still preserve and I’ve never suffered from food poisoning nor did my parents and my Father was 20 years older than my Mother and neither had either of them. I inherited their big Waterbath Machine and I simply follow the book’s (that came with it,) instructions. Sometimes 2 water baths per some foods need to be done. You do that if it’s recommended. No problems. I’m going to be using your recipe and though I’ve no duck eggs now I in the city and off our farm, that’s OK, I will just use Hen eggs I buy from our Farmers Market. Beautiful organic eggs, as were my own, with the deep yellow yolks coming from your birds free ranging or in my day, out in the paddock as we call fields here in my county if you are a farmer. I will be interested to see your other videos now. Thank you so very much for this Margot New Zealand

Love the attitude! My grandparents have been pickling eggs long before the USDA has been around. Totally agree. Great job! Thank you for sharing!

Great video! I love the onion rolling off the counter and the boy eating all the bell peps!😂😂😂

I appreciate a child who loves his fresh veggies. Good recipe. Looks great. As a side note i do think the USDA canning rules are great for nubbies. Some have never been taught the old ways. Better safe then sorry. However, I have learned some old ways & am more confident with my ancestors canning.❤❤❤

Valuable information! Thank you for sharing it!

Thanks for posting this!

I’ve tried many ways to peel fresh eggs. The one way that I’ve found that actually works is before you put egg in water crack the fat end of the egg. I think you will like the results

Aaaaand Subscribed. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you soo so much

Love the soy sauce idea. I love just about anything pickled. Once I had eaten a jar of pickles and left with the juice I had a crazy idea, pickled cheese. Can't really recall the cheese I had. Just sliced it up and dropped it into the jar. After about three weeks that was so good.

😂 the patience you have with your child who continued to eat your peppers and veggies... 😂 It's a great snack for sure. I love to see my children eat veggies. That side eye though to see if you notice them disappearing. 😂

Great video

Yup on the usda deal!! ❤

Great video, Thank you.

I've never ate pickled eggs, but these look fantastic!

New subscriber came from a Instagram. I really enjoyed this video. God bless you and your family. God bless your business. God bless this channel. I hope that it grows continued prayers for blessings on you and your family and your animals.

Just subbed! Thanks for sharing!

This is on my new to do list. I love eggs in any form. ❤ Mine wouldn’t be fresh yard eggs hope it’s just as good.

Love your kitchen the wood

I really appreciate you posting this recipe, along with the soy sauce variation. I've been looking a long time for a credible recipe for canning pickled eggs & this clearly is it! I've tried 4 separate variations with the recipe & we're excitedly awaiting them to mature to taste them. 😋

Well at least he likes vegetables( Lol) great recipe!

Appreciate

You had me at... whatever usda.

I let my hard boiled eggs cool completely in a few changes of cold water before peeling, and have only ever added cold vinegar straight from the bottle, with maybe some herbs, spices, Worcestershire or pepper sauces. Store at cellar temperature for at least one month. They are usually eaten within 6.

Cool ! I have to try this

Amen sister!

Put together a canning/preserving book. I'll buy it.

P.S. The first and ONLY time I made pickled eggs I did not use the water-bath method, and they are DEFINITELY shelf-stable, and still taste amazing months later. I'll try the water-bath, and they'll probably keep about a year.

6:25 Not following guidelines? I am a subscriber now! 😂 my grandmothers and aunts in Eastern Europe use water baths to can everything !! No refrigeration required.

3 questions. How do you know for sure if your can sealed or not? Do you put the lids on tight before you put them in the water bath or do they stay loose? When you put them in the water bath and bring them to a boil...do you keep it at a boil for the 15mins or do you cut the heat off and just let them sit in the hot water for 15mins? I'm about to try this and just want clarification

I really want to thank you for this video. I just pulled a small batch of pickled eggs from the water bath canner. It will really be hard to leave them alone long enough for them to get good. LOL

I would think that the soy sauce would dilute down the vinegar solution and extra vinegar would be needed pn that one for safety. Love this idea otherwise. Just before my last move, I pickled a gallon of duck eggs. They got lost in the move. I found them 3 years later and they were yummy good! I did not get sick.

Late to the comments section, but I had a question! I want to make shelf stable eggs so I love this, But If I have to hard boiled eggs and then process them for 15 mins do they become extra hard boiled? I’ve heard that egg yolks can start to turn green when over cooked from canning. So my question is, could I soft boil them for 7 mins, then peel, pickle and can them for 15 and have them cooked through but not over cooked?

Love your kitchen the wood they say not to have any cuts in the eggs when pickling them I always wait at least 2 weeks before boiling new eggs mine from my chickens are alot harder to peel

Hi. Excellent presentation. Do you have any experience with steam canning??

Do you have to adjust your processing time for altitude when water batch canning like you do for pressure canning?

Great vid! Regarding the processing time, what altitude you at?

👍

I do them similarly but I think anyone who has healthy chickens or get the eggs from someone who keeps them properly then there shouldn’t be a problem with doing it our way - I would not use store bought eggs (I’d never go near barn laid or cage eggs anyway and even free range eggs need to be checked space wise per chicken) or where the chickens are heavily medicated to stay alive to be able to produce eggs. I love your recipe! I’ll try it out with my next batch.

Can you also use this method for pickled eggs and beets

As an Asian, we use lots of lemon grass, kafir leaves, ginger. Maybe u can change to Asian taste.

Hello, im a new subscriber, , i never had pickled eggs , but im definitely going to try this method, my sons love boiled eggs, i do have 2, questions, can i use ready boiled eggs, costco sells bolied eggs about 32 , and can i use store bought eggs ??,, need help 😊

Hey watching your video and want to know can you do quail eggs the same and can they be put on the shelf too?

USDA may have been created for good reason but damn do they mess a lot of things up! I have yet to try pickled eggs but I am intrigued!

Yea they say after making them not to store them at room temperature but the vinegar preserve them so I want to try them my husband and son loves them I know other people who can thete tomatoes that way but no water bath Canning just hot jars hot eggs or tomatoes and put the lids on it

Do you need to add time based on elevation?

Little off topic but have you tried pickling fish? I'd be interested to learn more if you have!

One time saving tip to sterilize the jars, put them in the oven 😊

I have a question, I just pickled eggs for the first time. I cleaned and boiled my jars and lids. Let them dry and pickled my eggs, I used both regular vinegar and apple cider vinegar for my eggs, used half of cup of sea salt and spice. Water bath them. Can you tell me if I did everything right or wrong.

Do you tighten lid down hard?

Subed just for comment on usda

Put a little vinegar in your water when you're boiling those farm eggs. They'll peel way easier

Do you have another video that shows the inside of the egg when you are ready to eat it?

What is the name of the glass jars to store your eggs? I'm looking in Amazon to buy a set but the list of jars they are showing is nothing of what I'm looking for. Thanks.

What about water glassing eggs. I recently did 6 half gallon jars. You only use pickling lime and I used distilled water. I check them every time I go to the pantry and so far all is well.

I just made 5 quarts with undiluted vinegar and set it in the pantry for a few days and there is bubbling still. are they safe to eat?

Do you not have to de-bubble before the lid goes on?

HI LIZ. IS THAT 15 MINUTES FOR ANY ELEVATION ON WATER BATH CANNING. I LIVE IN TENNESSEE

What happens if your eggs aren't peeled perfectly and they have a split in it? Can you still use them?

can you do store bought eggs and they be shelf stable

I know this video is old, but I'm hoping i can still get an answer. Unfortunately, i don't have chickens, ducks, etc.., so i was wondering if one could do this same process with store bought eggs? If possible, brown or white? Also, how long have you've been able to keep them on the shelf? I'm just beginning my long-term food storage journey, and I'm trying to find different ways to store different items long-term in a small space suburban environment.

How long can they sit on the shelf still sealed?

Can you do the shelf stable method with pickled beet eggs? 😮

Straight vinegar ,???

need to grab another bell pepper.. looks like the help is going to eat it all fresh rather than wait for it pickled!!! lol

Is it possible to put cooked venison sausage in it ?

Do they have a hot spice to them

Can I take my pickled eggs from the fringe, let them warm, and then water bathe them to stick them on the shelf?

That kid rocks. He eats raw peppers. My kids won’t even eat cooked peppers

I was thinking can you add bacon or we'll meet products make them go bad?

Question…. Why didn’t you use pickling salt. I thought the salt help to persevere.

I would probably argue that pickled eggs still should be refrigerated. Botulism spores die only after boiling at 120° for 20 to 100 min, so just boiling for 15 minutes in 100° water won't kill spores. So potentially there's a chance for boutilism spores to survive. The optimal temperature for the spores to grow is 35° - a little above room temperature. So keeping in fridge at 2°-3° will prevent survived spores from growing.

Put about a teaspoon baking soda in the boiling water when you boil the eggs, they will peel easier

While I certainly do share your love and enthusiasm for our beloved USDA, I would like to contribute what I feel is a very important note of caution. You use fresh eggs from your OWN birds. I would be extremely wary of using commercially grown and processed eggs here in the US for this process. Healthy birds lay healthy eggs, commercial farms producing for the supermarkets... not so healthy. Just a thought.

Do you wb for 25 min?

They sell unrefrigerated pickled eggs at Runnings

But yet i can go to the store, any store, and buy picked eggs and they're not in the refrigerator.

I thought "botulism" couldn't survive in any acidic environment....so, why would the USDA disapprove?

What's the shelf life?

No audio on the process.

USA rules on eggs is completely different to many other countries, we don't refrigerate eggs and we are told specifically not to wash eggs .

Your son is going to eat all the seasoning before it gets into the jars. 😆

You very lucky, USDA tried to protect your family. If you want to chance your family’s life. It is your chance. To might live that is a chance. Your family don’t have that shoice

You should have that boy checked for worms.

U.S.D.A.?! Really? Why would ANY sane / awake person want to follow government guidelines?!

I can’t even spell USDA.
