help. I pickled 3 pints plus 1 egg (that’s in the fridge.) one jar didn’t seal so it’s in the fridge too. the other two have a weird thing on an egg. One had a black kind of spot on the top of an egg first day, properly sealed. The other turned up with a black spot the same as the first pint jar within a few days. Is this normal??? The two are sealed, so they are on the counter and I’m watching them.
I would like to can some more, but need to know if I did something wrong. My recipe did not have sugar. Advice would be appreciated.
Always thinking when you picked eggs they must be kept in refrigerator.?only good to eat for short time even if refrigeratored?
Mine last quite a while in the refrigerator. It’s my belief that pickling them preserves them.
I think she’s saying to let them rest in the fridge for a week or two before eating them. It gives the vinegar and spices time to sink into the eggs. They should last quite a while in vinegar.
Where is your picking spice recipe?
Hi,
What a blessing your Devotions section is to me at this time. Thank you. What a treat to find all your recipes. What is the maximum time you can keep pickled eggs if you are a slow egg eater?
Blessings
