Like most pickles, it's simplicity itseld. Boil and peel the eggs, then pour over them, a hot spiced vinegar.
Ideally one should leave them for a few weeks before eating; Voila!
I wonder if other hen keepers are eggsperiencing the same as me? My 3 seem to be laying extra LARGE eggs at the moment too, maybe it's their age, or maybe I'm feeding them too well. Any ideas?
French hens........better than our English softies
ReplyDeleteI like chickens but not eggs.
ReplyDeleteWell done hens for keeping up a winter production line.
I'm sure that, when we had hens before, they used to stop laying in Winter. But hey...
DeleteI've now got another fridge full.
It seems here we have an abundance or threatening the axe! I have not done pickled eggs fro ages and they were lovely,thanks for the reminder.
Deleteyet more effects of global warming....
ReplyDeleteIsn't there some sort of switch or dial on the hens that you can turn down? A combination of buttons to press that will get you eggs only on alternate days or something? What about a damned good talking to?
ReplyDeleteI'll plump for more pickles, I think.
DeleteI give my spares either to Mrs Millership once a week (the old dear down the lane) or sell them to various neighbours to buy layers pellets.
ReplyDeleteIf you go down this route Cro, the temptation is to get more and more chooks to supply the increasing demand.
None that are printable.
ReplyDeleteAnother trip to A&E for Tom then...
ReplyDeleteI love pickled eggs, and I am also wishing I had some hens, leaving me 3 eggs a day. Nice Job!
ReplyDeleteI've just done a second lot. There'll be two of us again tomorrow, so maybe some cakes will get made.
