Equipment

  • Glass container, crock, or any other food grade container
  • Kitchen scale

Materials

  • 1 oz pickling lime for every quart of water
  • Eggs clean, farm fresh
  • Filtered water

Instructions

  • Depending on the number of eggs you'd like to preserve, weigh out the pickling lime. 1 oz of lime to one quart of water.
    I used 2 oz of lime for 2 quarts of water in a gallon glass container. I used 20 eggs.
    Mix the lime and water, and pour over the eggs in the container.
    Cover container with a lid to prevent evaporation.
    Store in a cool, dark area of your house.
    To use eggs, gently take out of the lime solution and wash with water. Use like you would a fresh egg.
