The Great Pickled Egg Thread

[Admin]

Mamma D is making me a new batch of eggs and these are looking yummy already. She changes the recipe every time around and they are always awesome. Can never eat just one

[acewoodsman]

those look great i love pickled eggs i might have to tell farmergirl to get her recipe an try them out ;D

[shu9265]

JC,

You have my address, wanna ship me a jar?

Or better yet, wait till summer and bring them with you, nothing like pickled eggs and fresh walleye !

[payne]

Deffently look GOOD!! Deer or beef heart slices in there are really good also.

[determinator]

JC,

You are truly lucky to have Mamma D at your side!

I envy you, as a good woman and a good man are a force to contend with.

Enjoy! The last time a "made" pickled eggs was when I took some hard- boiled eggs and added them to a jar of finished off pickles.

And, if reading, welcome to the forum Mamma D! It's interesting to finally hear from the great woman from behind the great man. Thanks for your recent posts.

I'll have to have her post it later today. Like I said though - she changes it every time.

Maybe I'll have her pickle up several dozen about a month before the next swamp bash.

[patricimo54]

Sounds good

[Mamma D]

hey all ... the basic is 1 cup water to 2 cups vinegar plus 1tbsp salt ...eggs are denser than veggies so need a stroner solution for the most part - then you can play from there ...honey is nice, maybe 1/4 cup max for the amounts above - less if you want them less sweet ...pepper corns, red pepper flakes, sliced onion, sliced red pepper is pretty ...personally I don't care for them but He loves them! Oh ...apple cider vinegar works well as does the white ...thanks everyone! I'm having fun here!

We've always made pickled eggs with beets. The longer they sit, the better they get!

[samdog]

Mamma D, with the recipe you gave, how long does it take before the eggs are ready???

[Admin]

They gotta sit for at least 2 weeks, although the longer the better. I told her to pickle a dozen a week but she don't listen to me . Right now I'm chompin at the bit waiting for these dang eggs to pickle up

I need an egg fix

Mamma D has too much to do BossMan!

But that's right samdog ...2-3 weeks for a good flavor & the longer the better ...I better get the next batch a-goin' ...

[samdog]

Alright thanks, i'm trying to convince my mom right now to make me some. It's lookin like i'm gonna have to make my own. I can't use the "I'm not old enough to use the stove" excuse anymore.

[patricimo54]

Mamma D,
I am sure it would be hard to get an accurate feel for it with JC chomping at the bits, but what would be the guesstimate shelf life for pickled eggs?

[Admin]

The thing about these eggs is that once you finish one... you want more. It's like one potato chip or just ONE beer .
Or in Mamma D's case, just one glass of wine.... yeah right .

On the next shopping trip I'll be throwing about 3 dozen in the cart so she best get picklin

hmmm ...not really sure but most things that are pickeld have quite a long shelf life ...I would probably feel best using them up within 6-8 weeks ...I think the salt & vinegar would safely preserve them like any 'pickle' ()

[patricimo54]

When I was a kid, my Dad would take me with him to the neighbor tavern. They always had pickled eggs and sausages on the bar. Not every trip, but often, an egg or sausage was given to me to silence my complaining about being there. All the years that I went there with my Dad it always seemed to be the same jar that contained the eggs on the counter. That is why I was wondering about shelf life. but you know, if you can get a few beers in a fellow they will eat anything, no matter how old it is.

[Mamma D]

yeah, I've seen that too ...pickled eggs or sausage just sitting out on a counter ...probably keeps fine that way, but I'd feel better keeping things like that refrigerated ...JC is anxiously awaiting his eggs!

LMFAO.......SNAP.....Take that JC.......LMAO

[Admin]

We went shopping this morning and I snuck 3 dozen eggs into the cart. Mamma D will be busy tonight

[flyguy]

WOW 3 dozen eggs don't want to be in that house

[samdog]

Alright i finally made some. Only 4...(had 9 but ate 5 of em before i was able to put them into the jar) I put them in a tight seal tupper ware container. Will they pickle that way if i keep them refigerated. I also put some red pepper flakes, dill weed, garlic, and some salt n pepper. Does that sound good?

[Admin]

As long as the egg is totally submerged you should be fine. Not sure on how they will taste with the added herbs but who knows? I couldn't help myself and tested mamma's batch from the photo above and even though they only pickled for about 12 days they were pretty good. Now that I've opened them they are done for She hasn't boiled the other 3 dozen yet and if she don't get crackin someone will be losing some karma

[determinator]

Ha Ha!

I need to make some pickled eggs myself! I'm easily swayed by easy food preparations.

Those eggs just plain look good; without even tasting them, I can tell they're good, Mamma D. You must be a food artist!

Later,

Kerry

thanks Kerry ...I actually won't even try them ...JC is always trying to get me to take a taste ...no thanks!

Hey samdog ...your eggs sound good! Not sure about the dill so let us know!

I still gotta get to the next 3 doz JC is waiting for ...

[patricimo54]

I have got to get me a dozen or so pickling. I am thinking about putting a chipotle or two in the bottom of the jar.
Mamma D,
Have you ever reused one batch of pickling solution for the next?

[shu9265]

well they are not pickled egg's. But, I received a quart jar of pickled green tomatoes.

Man are they good !
When they are gone, gonna refill the jar with eggs.

[Mamma D]

I have reused brine from other pickles ...I'm sure you could with the egg brine but you might wanna just kick up the vinegar a touch - add a splash back into your used brine ( and maybe a tad of salt too or any other favorite seasonings) ...eggs being so dense, they probably weaken the brine some

Pappa D ...opps, I mean Bossman finally got me on to the next 3 dozen eggs ...they'll be ready the end of the month ...of course he had to peel the eggs this time!

Yep, be careful for what you wish for
