Not that I had any other ideas, but this thread seals it.
Gotta get a coop built this winter and stock it with layers next spring.
Plant beets too.
I loves me some pickled beet eggs, or any other kind.
Thanks for the hints folks
Geno Geno You know it takes about 5 months before you start getting eggs?

I like to throw a little smoke on em, damn good stuff!! ![[Linked Image]](https://s1.postimg.org/16jsqr57tr/IMG_1759.jpg) Judman, Do you smoke and then pickle them or do you mean you just smoke hard boiled eggs and eat them?

Every jar of pickles, pickled peppers etc. get a few eggs tossed in them when they are empty at my house. We even started buying all kinds of "gourmet" pickles just to try the juice for eggs.

Thats what my bartender friend would do. Buy the big gallon jar of Mount Olive pickles and save the juice. After a couple jars he would have enough for eggs. Add some jalapeno juice and sliced peppers and soak em.
Probably not preserved real well, but with some commodity cheese, cheap beer and crackers they would not last the afternoon at the Spa Bar.

Daniel boy and I finished a tiny jar of pickled asparagus.
Just big enough for two boiled eggs.
How long do I have to let them sit?

That sounds good. Nice and simple.
Feels wrong to have to buy eggs for this project, but the dogs killed all my layer pullets this spring.

In pickle juice, I figure 3-week minimum.

The secret to easy peeling is to leave your eggs out of the fridge for a couple days.
Contrary to most western thinking they will not go bad and your peeling problems will be gone forever.
Dave I just tried this out with a dozen eggs for pickling. Had one that was a little cantankerous but the rest almost peeled themselves. 67 y.o. and still learning chit. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/eS6FQORm.jpg)

We just tried the batch we did up on 10/8. They're good but pretty mild. I think another couple weeks are in order.

I cooked up a batch yesterday.
If memory serves it was vinegar, salt, pickling spice and mustard powder.
I did not have any powder so I used some Colemans English mustard.
Also put a couple cloves of garlic in the bottom of the jar.
I hope they are going to turn out. I guess I should make a dozen a week or every two weeks. Let them sit a bloody month???????
Anyone got a recipe for sort of a "kosher dill" type of pickled egg?
I am MAGA.
